MAT 295-01 - Special Topic: Symmetry in Math, Art, Music, and Science4 credits (Spring) From the analysis of musical compositions, to the prediction of the existence of elementary particles; from the ornamentation of the Alhambra palace to the spectroscopic analysis of molecules and crystals; all through nature, art and mathematics, symmetry pays a central role. In this course, we will study how the language of symmetry can illuminate such disparate fields. A major component of the course will be a guided independent project in the student’s area of interest.
Prerequisite: MAT 133 . Instructor: French
