Course Description
This course explores cultural constructions of nature and resources, the evolution of environmental thought, and the debates about sustainable development and climate change. It integrates environmental, economic, cultural, and social considerations in respect to natural resource management in Australia and across Southeast Asia. The environmental considerations extend to an understanding of climatic responses over the long term that provide constraints on resource management today, and how these responses are projected to vary in the future. These environmental constraints include air, land, vegetation, and water resources, and are examined in relation to current issues driving contemporary debate on the politics of climate change that must now be considered in environmental management and competition for resources. The principles are brought to life through a fieldtrip to the Hunter Valley to look at geographical issues pertaining to mines, wines, and the thoroughbred breeding industries in this region.

Course Description
This course provides foundational skills essential for doing research in biology and for critically judging the research of others. We consider how biology is practiced as a quantitative, experimental, and theoretical science. Students focus on the underlying principles and practical skills needed to explore questions and test hypotheses, particularly where background variation (error) is inherently high. The course provides an overview of how biological research is designed, analyzed, and interpreted using statistics.

Course Description
This is a multi-disciplinary course designed for students who want to be involved in one of the many roles required to create future technology. There are three main parts: the human foundations from psyschology and physiology; HCI methods for design and evaluation of interfaces; and leading edge directions for technologies. This course is a mix of computer science software engineering with the design discipline, UX - User Experience. It draws on psychology, both for relevant theories and user study methods.

UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description
This course unifies and extends mathematical ideas and techniques that most participants will have met in their first and second years, and will be of general interest to all students of pure and applied mathematics. It combines algebra and logic to present and answer a number of related questions of fundamental importance in the development of mathematics, from ancient to modern times. The Propositional and Predicate Calculi are studied as model axiomatic systems in their own right, including proofs of consistency and completeness. The final part of the course introduces precise notions of computability and decidability, through abstract Turing machines, culminating in the unsolvability of the Halting Problem the undecidability of First Order Logic, and a discussion of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Classical and novel arithmetics are introduced, unified and described abstractly using field and ring axioms and the language of field extensions. Quotient rings are introduced, which are used to construct different finite and infinite fields. A construction of the real numbers, by factoring out rings of Cauchy sequences of rationals by the ideal of null sequences, is presented. Axiomatics are placed in the context of reasoning within first order logic and set theory.

Environmental issues pose increasingly difficult challenges to our societies. What is the nature of these challenges? Where have they come from? How have political institutions adapted to them, at the national and international levels? What further changes might be necessary to better meet them? How might these changes come about? What effects might they have on the future of politics? This course will engage these kinds of questions as an introduction to some theoretical and practical dimensions of environmental politics.
