St. Olaf Bridging course. Class begins 2-6-17, ends 5-16-17. Meets at St. Olaf College Mondays 1-4 p.m. Instructor Jay Demas In this seminar course we will examine how animal vision has evolved to meet ecological needs and enable specific behavioral tasks such as prey capture, predator avoidance, navigation, mate selection, and communication. Topics will include the visual environment, biological optics, structure and function of photoreceptors, color and polarization vision, motion detection, stereovision, development of the visual system, and "the dress." The course will be grounded in the primary literature, and class time will consist of discussion and group work. Prerequisites: Psychology 216 or Psychology 220.

Emphasizes the role of genetic information in biological systems. Under this theme, we cover subjects from the molecular to the population levels of organization. Topics include the nature of inheritance and life cycles, structure/function of DNA, gene expression and regulation, the changing genetic makeup of species as they evolve, and the development of individual organisms from zygotes.

Human Physiology seeks to understand the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the diverse functions of the body. Course topics include the function and regulation of the various physiological systems (nervous, circulatory, endocrine, excretory, respiratory, digestive, etc.), biochemistry, cellular physiology, homeostasis and acid-base chemistry. The study of human physiology provides the principal groundwork for internal medicine, pharmacology, and other related health fields. The laboratory includes a variety of experiments focusing on the function and regulation of the human body. Not open to students who have taken Biology 232.

Prerequisite: Concurrent registration in Biology 333; Biology 125 and 126

BIOL 333 required. Students should waitlist for BOTH 333 (lab) and 332 (lecture) to be considered for enrollment from either waitlist.

An introduction to the theory of computation. What problems can and cannot be solved efficiently by computers? What problems cannot be solved by computers, period? Topics include formal models of computation, including finite-state automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines; formal languages, including regular expressions and context-free grammars; computability and uncomputability; and computational complexity, particularly NP-completeness.

How can we design computer systems with behavior that seems "intelligent?" This course will examine a number of different approaches to this question, including intelligent search computer game playing, automated logic, machine learning (including neural networks), and reasoning with uncertainty. The coursework is a mix of problem solving and computer programming based on the ideas that we discuss.

Prerequisite: Computer Science 201, additionally Computer Science 202 or Mathematics 236 are strongly recommended.
