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. 001 TTH 01:00PM-02:30PM SS*337 Carroll, Michael *CURRENT ENR: 0 001 Gottschalk, Arthur *CURRENT ENR: 0 UNIV 116 THE ORIGIN OF LIFE: A FIRST YEAR SEMINAR Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 * 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.
