This course will look at the technology of the audio-animatronic figures. Finally, the use of animation in medicine from 3-D anatomy teaching software to diagnostic modeling technology will be explored. The field of forensics has also used animation to re-construct crime scenes and we look at the detail that must be created to predict outcomes. To enhance the learning experience, the class will travel to Walt Disney World and have a guided tour of the Parks to see the use of audio-animatronics in creating an interactive ride and be able to work individually with animators.

For over half a century now a remarkable theoretical tool, game theory, has given us insights into strategy-building in diplomacy, war, political science, economics, psychology and many other areas. Game theory provides us with a conceptual framework to model the strategic interaction between rational and intelligent decision-makers. It is gradually becoming a staple in the toolsets of corporations and governments and has entered popular culture via films like A Beautiful Mind and Starship Trooper. The theory was first developed in part by Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann in the 1940’s and 50’s.

MAT 1142 - Crocheted Hyperbolic Geometry Credits: 2
We will explore the unexpected behavior of familiar shapes like triangles, squares, and hexagons in the unfamiliar world of hyperbolic geometry by making crocheted models. What is so unusual about a triangle in hyperbolic geometry? Their angles don’t add up to 180 degrees. What about squares? You can fit five of them around a corner, not just four. To explore these and other examples of how hyperbolic
geometry is different than Euclidean geometry students will be crocheting demonstration models of several examples as well as giving a presentation to the rest of the class using their crocheted models. No previous crochet experience is required.
Prerequisites MAT-1106 or higher
