We will cover a number of different systems and introduce standard mathematical analysis techniques used for each. These systems include flight, cell evolution, the pythagorean theorem, quantum tunneling, and how fast a coffee cup overflows. In every case, the system drives the math - we will be teaching you exactly what's needed to understand the world around you.

Learn how early gameboy games (specifically pokemon) had to deal with systems lacking in memory, power, and speed anywhere close to what we have today. We will go through several glitches from the first pokemon games, highlighting what code caused them and why Nintendo had no choice but to make it that way.

Recently, MIT and Harvard physicists managed to get two laser beams to repel each other, just like lightsabers! Come learn about the awesome experiment that led to this creation, as well as why or why not this technology might actually lead us to making real lightsabers in the future!

Calculus is an incredible branch of math with tons of relationships to real-life processes and ideas. Many students, however, are terrified of it because of the difficulty of the math. It turns out, though, that they are separable - we can teach you why calculus is important and how it works, all while keeping the math to an absolute minimum!

Robots are awesome, but we're still very new at making them. One of the best ways engineers have found to improve our designs is by stealing from Mother Nature, who has had much more time than we have to figure this stuff out. Come learn about the jellyfishbots we might send to space, the insectbots that can walk on water, and geckobots that can climb up walls unassisted, among others!

Calvin and Hobbes is popularly viewed as one of the greatest comic strips of all time, but not just for the humor. In this class, we’ll explore many major branches of philosophy with the use of Calvin+Hobbes strips, discussing questions such as “How can you know something?”, “What does it mean to be good?”, and, of course, “What can we learn from Calvinball?”

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Well, good news! You don't need a phone booth, magic, or even electricity! All you need are cosmic strings and a fast rocket. (And some relativity, but we'll help you with that.) Anyone with a healthy enthusiasm for physics and time travel is welcome!
