UNIV   115 SOUND                                    Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
Acoustics is on one level an exact science, to the extent that sound can
be readily measured, analyzed and objectively understood. At the same
time, acoustics is a highly subjective field of study, open to an
infinite variety of interpretations when we ourselves are the instrument
of measurement. This course will examine the unambiguous realm of
physical acoustics, but it will integrate that understanding with the
particular insights to be derived from studying acoustics as it relates
to music, architecture, biomedicine, psychoacoustics, the environment,
and other fields besides.

           * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP III
The age-old mystery of the origin of life has, in recent decades,
matured into an area of active scientific inquiry and discourse. This is

the basis of life, and of new organizing principles in complex systems.
This course will pursue a critical examination of the central physical,
chemical and biological questions and their proposed solutions for how
life began.
