We'll start off talking about simple games like Tic-Tac-Toe and discuss how to think about games and optimal strategies. Maybe later we'll talk about more complicated games like Nim and some non-deterministic games. The class will be a mixture of us talking about theory and students splitting into groups and playing games.

Why does the apple fall from the tree? How do planets move among the stars? There is perhaps no more important phenomenon to the history of science than the study of gravity. During the class, we will retrace the footsteps of the great physicists of the past, looking at theory and experiment, all leading toward a more fundamental understanding of gravity.

Come watch animated shorts with some animation enthusiasts! Let's talk about the impact that these stories can have on your world. Thoughtful discussion encouraged, snacks provided.

Have you ever noticed yourself thinking? How much control do we even have on our thoughts? What does it even mean to think? In this class, we will learn the practice of meditation, as we explore what our minds are really doing.

Come explore the beauty of Earth's atmosphere and weather and learn how weather phenomena are observed and predicted.

Have you ever wanted to make music but couldn't find the time/instruments/people? Is there a melody or rhythm stuck in your head that you can't keep from sharing? Maybe you ask: "I've listened to music, but what is this 'jam' you speak of?" Well then sign up for Jam Session!

Maybe you've heard of an imaginary number, but what is it really? And how can it make any sense? In this course, we will explore the theory, intuition and applications that come from the famous $$\sqrt{-1}$$. The course starts off with the history and construction of numbers. We then learn how to work with complex numbers leading up to some surprising results. At the end of the course, we look at advanced concepts like holomorphic functions and Riemann surfaces. So come join! Along the way, we will also touch upon other important topics in mathematics including group theory and algebra and look at cool, useful real-life engineering applications.

Will present some simple unexpected and insightful results in math. Hopefully this will convince you that math can be beautiful.
