In 1905, Einstein shocked the world with his theory of special relativity, illuminating the counterintuitive phenomena that existed at the fringes of physics (both literally and figuratively). His theory, which suggests not only the relativity of length but also the relativity of time itself, was met with massive opposition, and yet, its core axioms are still integral to the physics of today. Join us as we explore the strange but true nature of the universe via special relativity.

2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, cis-1-ethyl-3-phenoxycyclohexane . . . Is this all you imagine when you think organic chemistry? Then this is the class for you! Organic chemistry is so much more than IUPAC and high-school chemistry nomenclature homework. It's about problem solving and creativity. Come to experience the true fun of organic chemistry---reactions, mechanisms, and syntheses!---and to receive a more representative introduction to an exciting field.

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered to yourself, "What are the orbital elements of that asteroid, and will it one day end up crashing into Earth and causing the extinction of the human race?" If so, then this is the class for you! We will begin with only a computer and amateur telescope images, but by the end of the class, we will know the orbital elements of an asteroid (submittable to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) and have data regarding its trajectory for tens of millions of years.
