Introduction to the concepts and applications of environmental systems analysis. Application of mathematical programming and modeling to the design, planning, and management of engineered environmental systems, regional environmental systems, and environmental policy. Economic analysis, including benefit-cost analysis and management strategies. Concepts of tradeoff, non-inferior sets, single- and multi-objective optimization. Practical application to case studies to convey an understanding of the complexity and data collection challenges of actual design practice.

The course covers conceptual and methodological topics in environmental and resource policy. It includes three parts: (1) Basic theory and methods of economic analysis of environmental problems. (2) Economics of pollution control. (3) Economics of natural resource management.

Sources, characteristics, transport, and effects of air and water contaminants; biological, chemical, and physical processes in water; atmospheric structure and composition; unit operations for air and water quality control; solid waste management; environmental quality standards. Prerequisite: CHEM 104.

Epistemic logic is a discipline of philosophical logic which uses the tools of modal logic to characterize notions of knowledge, belief, etc. We introduce the ideas going from classical mathematical logic to non-classical logics, the basics of modal logic, and then the applications in epistemic logic, temporal logic, deontic logic and so on. Among these application fields our main focus is the characterizations of knowledge and belief. We introduce the Kripke models for interpreting these notions and its dynamics.

High and street art, tradition and experimentation, the familiar and unfamiliar, international and American creativity provide this course's foundation. Students will attend performances and exhibitions, interact with artists, and examine core issues associated with the creative process in our increasingly complex global society. Faculty from the arts, sciences, humanities, and other domains will lead students through visual arts, music, dance, and theatre experiences at Krannert Center and Krannert Art Museum to spark investigation and dialogue.
