Additional Course Details:

Topic: Combinatorics
Course description: Enumerative combinatorics is a classical mathematical subject related to the theory of counting. In this course we will develop the theory of enumerative combinatorics and consider a wide range of problems and applications involving it. We will review basic counting principles (sum and product rules, combinations and permutations) and then discuss topics such as binomial and multinomial coefficients, the principle of inclusion and exclusion, generating functions, recurrence relations, special sequences (such as Catalan numbers), partitions, and pigeonhole principle. Additional topics may vary.

Special Fees: $5,775.00

This course in an intensive marine-based introduction to the scientific method and experimental biology taught a Shoals Marine Laboratory. The course takes advantage of the unique learning opportunities afforded by the pristine marine environment (especially the intertidal) around Appledore Island. The overall course philosophy is to allow students to learn the scientific method by doing it themselves under the guidance of veteran marine biologists. The course is structured around two class projects that are designed to expose students to concepts and techniques in marine ecophysiology and biomechanics. Permission required. Special fee. (Summers only at Shoals Marine Lab.)
