We invite you to consider an exciting Fall Term 2009 course option: MATH-M 385, Mathematics from Language.
Are you fascinated by grammar? Would you like to learn some advanced topics in math that are motivated by contemporary linguistics? If so, please consider M385. It's an introduction to a number of math topics chosen from abstract algebra, formal language theory, logic, and probability. The emphasis is on learning the math, but all of the examples are from linguistics. And although the class will teach you to do proofs, it is not super-rigorous. It's not even intended for math majors. The official prerequisite is MATH-M 118, and courses such as CSCI-C 241 and COGS-Q 250 would be good to have as well. The real prerequisite is an interest in the subject.

Summer B&W Photography Class for A&H
Fundamentals of Photography at IU this Summer Session I.
The basic black and white film photography class currently has a few spaces available that I am hoping to fill. Undergraduate as well as graduate students are welcome! I really enjoy teaching this class and plan to enrich the class with visits to exhibitions and shooting field trips. Interested students can contact me directly with questions. Thank you for your help with this!

Basic information about the class:
Fundamentals of Photography: S291
3 Credits, Summer Session I
Monday-Thursday 9.30-12.15
Instructor: Alexis Culver
Course Description:
This is a basic "tool-skills" course, whose aim is to help the student
develop practical control over the black and white photographic process, as
well as a degree of independence from further instruction and
misinformation in the form of manufacturer's advertising.
Practice training and some theoretical information is given in the
problems of exposure of photographic field and paper, film
development, enlargement (printing) contrast control and presentation.
Aesthetic considerations are discussed to the extent that the
particular course population warrants, in that students are drawn from
all areas of the Arts and Sciences as well as most of the Professional
Schools, and are by no means exclusively Fine Arts majors. More
of this is done on an individual basis, to cater to the diversity of
interest; an attempt is made to match further individualized
instruction to the needs and applicational interests of the students.
Important areas discussed are camera controls, the lens and light,
shutters, light metering, film exposure, depth of field, contrast,
bracketing, developing, printing, and materials and chemicals.
The format of the classes includes explanation, discussion,
demonstration, approximately an hour of lecture plus discussion and
four hours of supervised laboratory per week; plus out-of-class
photographing.
A personal camera is required, 35mm with manual control.
A lab fee is charged. Please visit http://www.indiana.edu/~blbursar
for fee information.

New Fall 2009 course - "The Art of Meaningful Work"
"The Art of Meaningful Work" - offered by the Career Development Center and Arts & Sciences Career Services. Only one section of this course is offered each semester for the 09-10 academic year.
Additionally, there are just 20 slots available per section. Please note that it is a 300-level course and is also 3 credits.
The Art of Meaningful Work
Fall 2009
ASCS Q377 / Class 30180
3.0 credit hours
Wed. 6:00p - 8:30p
WH 204
Instructor: Doug Hanvey (dhanvey@indiana.edu)
In the 20th century, the illustrious psychologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl wrote: "The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged ? survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." Now, in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century and contemporary issues of economic, social, and environmental concern, most of us would like to find meaning in our work, and the sense that there is a deeper purpose to our lives. Each of us wants to serve the world in our own unique way, and yet it is easy to lose touch, or never really become clear about, what this might mean for us. In this course we will examine the idea that each of us has a ?calling? or unique gift to bring into the world. We will ask questions such as, What kind of world do I want to live in? What are the personal gifts that I can bring into my work, and to others? What moves me to want to act?
Through experiential and self-reflective individual and group exercises from a variety of perspectives, you will be challenged to deeply explore personal issues of meaning, spirituality, authenticity, purpose, creativity and service. The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to help yourself and your peers discover your own authentic way of being in the world of work, and the calling to which you are led. NOTE: THIS CLASS IS RESERVED FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN ASCS-Q 294.
Additionally, there are just 20 slots available per section. Please note that it is a 300-level course and is also 3 credits.
