Courses

Our faculty find many ways to mix teaching and research. Graduate and undergraduate students are involved directly in research, and research ideas tend to creep into core undergraduate and graduate courses, but perhaps the most measurable impact of our research on the curriculum is the series of ``special topics'' courses that are offered every year. Some are taught by regular faculty, and some are taught by visiting faculty; all enrich the experience for 5-20 students each time. Below is a list of the topics courses taught during the period of this award.
