Courses

Applications of probability theory to actuarial science. Topics include: set theory and axioms of probability, Bayes' Theorem, counting techniques, single and multiple random variables, moments, discrete and continuous distributions, and insurance concepts (limits, deductibles, etc.).

Students derive the mathematical principles behind financial instruments involving yields, force of interest, special annuity types, bonds, yield curves, and interest financial derivatives. This course covers the content on which the joint Society interest theory is based.

Major topics in epistemology such as the problem of induction, perception theory, memory and the problem of other minds.

A survey of recent work on knowledge and related notions. Topics may include the analysis of knowledge, the structure of justification, a priori knowledge, perceptual knowledge, the social dimension of knowledge, and the challenge of radical skepticism.

Examines knowledge, its scope and limits. Topics may include the conditions, criteria, and grounds for knowledge, and theories of truth and meaning.

Formal representations for language syntax and semantics, underlying language theory. Study of automata theory: finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.

Multivariate normal distributions and quadratic forms; least square estimation; nested models; weighted least squares, testing contrasts; multiple comparison; polynomial regression; maximum likelihood theory of log linear models will be studied.

This course explores multi-engine aircraft theory and aerodynamics, pre-flight requirements for safe operation of multi-engine aircraft, and flight and landing maneuvers for aircraft of this type. Topics include system operation of constant speed propellers, multi-tank and pump fuel systems, dual electrical systems, turbocharger and ice control systems. Students also learn to use performance charts based on multi-engine weight and balance.

Theory of Music I is an introduction to music theory and the study of harmony with emphasis on the rudiments of music. The class includes the study of sight-singing and music dictation in laboratory meetings.

Students are provided an intensive drill in the fundamentals of music theory mastering basic concepts involving the visual recognition and written reproduction seventh chords, students study figured bass, Roman Numeral analysis, and course's content is coordinated with that of MUSICIANSHIP I (MUSI 1224).
