INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL MATH AND PHYSICS
Wednesdays 6:50-9:20pm
Professor Mike Mauel (mem4@columbia.edu)
Call number: 17002
Website: http://www.apam.columbia.edu/courses/ap1601y
Introduction to computational methods in applied mathematics and physics: Students develop solutions in a small number of subject areas to acquire a first taste in the practical use of computers in solving mathematics and physics problems.
APAM1601 does not require prior programming experience (but prior computer experience and talent are helpful.) Topics change from year-to-year, and only a limited number of topics (typically four per term) are selected for discussion and investigation. Topics range from classical and modern physics and applied mathematics, but the course is not meant to cover these areas broadly. Instead, each topic will be self-contained and limited in scope. We try to make topics interesting and absorbing, and they will amplify and expand on a student's knowledge acquired during your first year of physics and mathematics course work.
The goal of this course is to provide some depth in select topics instead of providing a general (but shallow) overview of an entire subject area.
Examples include elementary interpolation of functions, solution of nonlinear algebraic equations, curve-fitting and hypothesis testing, wave propagation, fluid motion, gravitational and celestial mechanics, chaotic dynamics. (APAM1601 is usually taught by a team of two professors, an applied physicist and an applied mathematician.)
Spring 2009
APPH E1300: Physics of the Human Body
Call Number 62148
3.0 points (lecture course)
TR 2:40 pm - 3:55 pm
Prerequisites: Physics “I”, Calculus “I”;
Corequisites: Physics “II”, Calculus “II”
Instructor: Professor Irving P. Herman (iph1@columbia.edu)
This course analyzes the human body from the basic principles of physics.
Principles derived in first-year physics are applied directly or after modest extension.
In each case a simple model of the body organ, property, or function is devised and then applied, sometimes using introductory calculus. This course is targeted for prospective and current pre-med and biomedical engineering majors, as well as prospective applied physics and other majors. It is a SEAS professional-level course. Given the level of the treatment, it is suitable for first and second year undergraduates, as well as for upper classpeople in SEAS, CC, and Barnard.
The following undergraduate business courses will be offered for the spring term.
BUSI W3013 – Financial Accounting
Prof. Alan Brott
TR 9:10-10:25am
Uris 141
Call Number: 17950
Points: 3
The purpose of this course is to enable you to become an informed user of financial information. To be properly informed you need to understand the language of accounting and financial reporting. We will focus on the three major financial statements – the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of cash flows - that companies prepare for use of management and external parties. We will examine the underlying concepts that go into the preparation of these financial statements as well as specific accounting rules that apply when preparing financial statements. As we gain an understanding of the financial information, we will look at approaches to analyze the financial strength and operations of an entity. We will use actual financial statements to understand how financial information is presented and to apply analysis techniques. The course coverage and design is consistent with that of an MBA financial accounting course.
BUSI W3021 – Marketing Management
Prof. Leonard Lee
Mondays 9:00am-12:00noon
Uris 141
Call Number: 72099
Points: 3
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental marketing concepts and their application by business and non-business organizations. The goal is to expose the students to these concepts as they are used in a wide variety of settings, including consumer goods firms, manufacturing and service industries, and small and large businesses. The course will give you an overview of marketing strategy issues, elements of a market – company, customers, and competition, as well as the fundamental elements of the marketing mix – product, price, placement (distribution) and promotion. The course highlights both theory and applications. Extensive use of cases and exercises presents you with a challenging and real-world environment in which to apply and hone your decision-making skills.

**The Last Day to Drop a Class for SEAS students is: Thursday, November 13th
Students in need of switching their section of University Writing as well as students attempting to reverse the order of their enrollment in UW and Frontiers of Science should go to the Undergraduate Writing Program office:
310 Philosophy Hall, FRIDAY August 29, 2008
From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
About University Writing Section Changes
Students will only be accommodated in the case of schedule conflicts with other Core courses or required classes or similar obligation. Students cannot be guaranteed a section change: it will be allowed only if there is space available. Sections of University Writing will not be oversubscribed.
About Reversing the order of University Writing and Frontiers of Science
Students with a compelling reason to reverse the order of their enrollment in University Writing and Frontiers of Science may petition as well. Petitions must include a strong argument for the request. Even then, the granting of a petition is not guaranteed as it depends on space availability in both courses.
CORE REGISTRATION:
Tuesday, September 2 to Monday, September 8, 2008
Center for the Core Curriculum, 202 Hamilton Hall
During this time, students unable to register in or change sections of the Core courses listed may file petitions to do so at the Core office: Literature Humanities, Contemporary Civilization, African Civilization, Art Humanities, Music Humanities, Frontiers of Science.
Changes will only be made for students who have conflicts with another Core class, major requirement, or varsity athletic practice.
All requests must be made in person by filing a petition with the Core Office in 202 Hamilton.
ATTENDANCE of Core classes is always a crucial but it is particularly so during this registration period– if you miss the first two classes, you will not be guaranteed a seat.
Last day to ADD a Core Class: Monday, September 8, 2008
After this date students MAY NOT add a Core class. Students with questions and concerns should see their Advising Deans.
Last day to DROP a Core Class: Friday, September 12, 2008 by 5 PM
After this date students MAY NOT drop their Core classes. Students with questions and concerns should see their Advising Deans. This Core Drop date happens much earlier than the regular drop date, so it is imperative that students keep this deadline in mind as they work out their schedules. NOTE TO FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS: Literature Humanities, University Writing or Frontiers of Science CANNOT BE DROPPED…
BUSI W3021 Intro to Marketing has been opened up to SEAS undergrads.
There are a few spaces left.
(This class replaces BUSI W3020 as a requirement for the minor in entrepreneurship. Students who may have taken W3020 in the past can certainly still use it to fulfill the requirement.)
ENGI E2261, Intro to Accounting and Finance, has been opened up to CC students. There are a few spots left to be filled.
**Check SSOL or the Registration Dates for your appointment time.

INTRO TO ACCOUNTING & FINANCE Section 001 Call Number: 96355 Points: 4
Day/Time: TR 9:10am-10:25am Location: To be announced
Instructor: Anthony C Webster
This course used to be ECON W2261 and mainly concerns students in IEOR and those declaring the new Minor in Entrepreneurship.
**UPDATE**
The Leadership in Organizations course will not be in the system for registration until September – it is being designed now. It is strictly an elective course and will not count toward any major or concentration requirements.
===============================================
Dear Columbia College Students,
As the April dates for Fall 2008 registration approach, I write to inform you that the course ECON W2261 Introduction to Accounting and Finance will not be offered next year. Instead, in collaboration with the Business School, a new course, tentatively titled Principles of Accounting will be offered in the Spring 2009 semester.
In addition, as part of this collaboration a course titled Leadership in Organizations will be offered in the Fall 2008 semester.
These courses, specifically developed for undergraduates, will be open to juniors and seniors. As soon as additional information about the structure and prerequisites for the courses become available, another email will be sent with details.
The School of Engineering will be offering an accounting course designed especially for Engineering students who are enrolled in a program that requires a course in accounting.
