Computers

• Now What?
  So you've got a 10,000 giga-bonk computer that you use to play Doom and as a very expensive typewriter. Wondering what all the fuss is about? Let me find out what you're interested in, and then help you discover uses for your computer that mean something to YOU. We'll set you up with some neat ideas, a pile of free software tools to get you started, and (most importantly) access to more information, programs, and people.
• An Introduction to Postmodern Computing
  This course will prepare students for Online Publishing, Web Page creation and upkeep, and the use of HTML as a general MetaProgramming language for multi-media, education, and other Artistic and Professional pursuits. Coursework will be done in HTML,and students will write their own tutorials explaining each topic as it is learned. As a culminating project for the course, we will weave these together into a Hyper-Text document, and publish it.
• "Web" Tutorials
  An overview of the tools and concepts you'll need to delve into this new, rich, rife with baloney medium. A no-nonsense introduction to Netscape, which we'll use for e-mail, newsgroups, and of course, exploring the ubiquitous World Wide Web.

Mathematics

• Tutoring
  Tutoring in Mathematics from elementary Arithmetic up to Partial Differential Equations and Statistics. Experienced, engaged tutoring may even make this a chore you dread less and less. Sounds strange, but lots of people end of actually finding it...interesting!
• Statistics and Stochastics
  We live in an uncertain world. These are the tools we use to model this uncertainty. Learn the tools needed to work in many areas of environmental and other modelling, or learn the theory behind the those you use already.
• Dynamical Systems
  The birthing-place of Chaos Theory, Dynamic Systems really includes everything that doesn't just sit and wait for you to analyze it. Natural systems are every-changing, infinitely variable. We'll admittedly just scratch the surface of this huge field, but it is a very interesting surface indeed. Lots of neat pictures.
