BIOLSCI 54:

Biological Sciences 54. Introductory Cell Biology

Catalog Number: 0801
Robert A. Lue and Raymond L. Erikson
Half course (spring term). M., W., F., at 10, and one laboratory/discussion session each week.. EXAM GROUP: 3
An integrated introduction to the structure, function, and interactions of cells, with an emphasis on their molecular composition and dynamics. Topics covered include: membrane structure and transport; receptors and channels; protein targeting; cytoskeleton; cell cycle control; signal transduction; programmed cell death; cell adhesion, and differentiation.
Note: Laboratory and discussion sessions focus on problem-solving and evaluation of data. A series of linked laboratory exercises provides exposure to several techniques commonly used in cell biology. This course, when taken for a letter grade, meets the Core area requirement for Science B.
Prerequisite: Chemistry 17 or 20.
Recent CUE Scores (Detailed CUE Results):
    4 (Spring 2003-2004, Robert Lue)
    3.7 (Spring 2002-2003, Robert Lue)
CHEM 20:
Chemistry 20. Organic Chemistry

Catalog Number: 0876
Garry Procter
Half course (spring term). M., W., F., at 9, and a discussion section to be arranged.. EXAM GROUP: 2
An introduction to structure and bonding in organic molecules; mechanisms of organic reactions; chemical transformations of the functional groups of organic chemistry; synthesis; determination of chemical structures: infrared and NMR spectroscopy.
Note: The Chemistry 17/27 sequence is intended primarily for students in the life sciences, whereas the 20/30 sequence is intended primarily for Chemistry concentrators and other students concentrating in the physical sciences. Either sequence satisfies the organic chemistry requirement for medical school. The content of Chemistry 17 is similar to that of Chemistry 20, so students may not count both courses toward the degree. On the other hand, Chemistry 27 and Chemistry 30 cover different material, so students may choose to take both courses for degree credit; students should ordinarily take the third half course only after completing either the 17/27 or 20/30 sequence. This course, when taken for a letter grade, meets the Core area requirement for Science A.
Prerequisite: Open to freshmen with a score higher than 750 in the College Boards or the Chemistry Placement Examination; to students who scored 5 on the Chemistry Advanced Placement Examination; and to students who achieved a grade of B or higher in either Chemistry 7, 10, or 15. Others may enter only by permission of the instructor.
Recent CUE Scores (Detailed CUE Results):
    4.2 (Spring 2003-2004, Andrew Myers)
    4.21 (Spring 2002-2003, Garry Procter)
MATH 113:
Mathematics 113. Complex Analysis

Catalog Number: 0405
Mihnea Popa
Half course (spring term). M., W., F., at 12. EXAM GROUP: 5
Analytic functions of one complex variable: power series expansions, contour integrals, Cauchy's theorem, Laurent series and the residue theorem. Some applications to real analysis, including the evaluation of indefinite integrals. An introduction to some special functions.
Prerequisite: Mathematics 23a,b, 25a,b, or 101. Students with an A grade in Mathematics 21a,b may also consider taking this course, but must understand proofs.
Recent CUE Scores (Detailed CUE Results):
    3.6 (Fall 2003-2004, Dylan Thurston)
    3.4 (Fall 2002-2003, Francesco Calegari)
    4.19 (Fall 2001-2002, Matthew Baker)
PHYSICS 181:
Physics 181. Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Catalog Number: 6346
Bertrand I. Halperin
Half course (spring term). M., W., F., at 11. EXAM GROUP: 4
Introduction to thermal physics: basic concepts of thermodynamics (energy, heat, work, temperature, entropy), classical and quantum ensembles and their origins, and distribution functions. Applications include Debye's theory of solids, Planck's theory of black body radiation, classical and quantum gases, magnetism and phase transitions.
Note: May not be taken for credit in addition to Engineering Sciences 181.
Prerequisite: Physics 143a or equivalent.
Recent CUE Scores (Detailed CUE Results):
    3.3 (Spring 2003-2004, Robert Westervelt)
    3.68 (Spring 2002-2003, Bertrand Halperin)
