This course is designed primarily to allow faculty to develop courses which address specific issues, themes, or problems of interdisciplinary interest. Topics vary semester to semester. Students should consult the department's webpage for current offerings before the start of the semester.

Professor Quamruzzaman will introduce students to working with and analyzing data sets that are relevant to their own research interests. He will help students find the relevant data, analyze it and present it in compelling form. No previous quantitative coursework is required. This course will solidify a skill that students will need for research at Cal and that they will find valuable in their post-graduate lives as well. All ISF students are welcome, and encouraged to take this course; it can be counted in their ISF course of study. Even students writing their thesis this semester could take this course and add a quantitative component to their thesis work over and above what they had already planned to do. The course is open to undeclared majors as well. Students have appreciated the opportunity to learn quantitative skills in a small, supportive environment. We encourage students to take advantage of this special opportunity.
