The human eye is amazingly complex, yet surprisingly inefficient. In this class we will explore the biological principles that underly visual sensation and perception with brief applications to physics (lenses) and comparative anatomy.

This class will focus on the anatomy and physiology of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. We will learn about blood composition, how the heart functions as a pump, hemodynamics, and regulation by the central nervous system.

Have you ever wondered how audio and video are processed? How images are generated and compressed? This course will provide a brief mathematical introduction to signal processing. In class examples will range from biological modeling to music production. We will also briefly explore computational techniques to generate random signals using MATLAB.

The human body is amazingly complex. In this course, we will briefly explore the brain, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems to develop a better understanding of and appreciation for basic anatomy and physiology.

Fun class for beginning or experienced tap dancers. Will start with a warm up and then we will go into a combination!
