An informal and discussion-based course, we will discuss our opinions on urban planning and urban design. The major focus will be on sense of place, suburbanization, and accompanying history.

This course will be a fast paced overview about how computers work at the hardware level. We will briefly discuss logic gates and basic processor control flow. The course will move very quickly, so you might get lost; given the nature of the subject, however, I expect you'll still get a lot out of the course.

We will be discussing the basics of writing newspaper articles. We will discuss lede-writing, the upside-down pyramid, preparing questions, and the major differences between writing a newspaper article and writing a novel.

The aim of this class is to get everyone in the class to see that e^(ix)=cos x+ i*sin x and the special case that e^(pi*i)=-1. I will concentrate on the power series proof (because the concepts used will be very helpful in your future BC Calculus class). Time permitting, I will go over another proof or two which leads to the same result.

Our main goal will be to implement a recursive algorithm in Python to compute combinations and permutations. We will prove that this is possible as well. If we have time, we will discuss how recursion and mathematical induction are related.
