Classes Taken at Cal
The following is a list of all the classes that I
attended while at the University of California at Berkeley:
Mathematics
- Math 1A- Calculus
An introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of
one variable, with applications and an introduction to transcendental
functions.
- Math 1B- Calculus
Continuation of 1A. Techniques of integration; applications of integration.
Infinite sequences and series. First-order ordinary differential equations.
Second-order ordinary differential equations; oscillation and damping;
series solutions of ordinary differential equations.
- Math 55- Discrete Mathematics
Logic, mathematical induction sets, relations, and functions. Introduction
to graphs, elementary number theory, combinatorics, algebraic structures,
discrete probability, theory, and statistics. Emphasis on topics of
interest to students in computer science.
Computer Science
- Comp Sci 61A- The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes
students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within
a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types,
data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming
languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples.
- Comp Sci 61B- Data Structures
Fundamental dynamic data structures, including linear lists, queues,
trees, and other linked structures; arrays strings, and hash tables.
Storage management. Elementary principles of software engineering. Abstract
data types. Algorithms for sorting and searching. Introduction to the
Java programming language.
- Comp Sci 61C- Machine Structures
The internal organization and operation of digital computers. Machine
architecture, support for high-level languages (logic, arithmetic, instruction
sequencing) and operating systems (I/O, interrupts, memory management,
process switching). Elements of computer logic design. Tradeoffs involved
in fundamental architectural design decisions.
- Comp Sci 160- User Interface Design
The design, implementation, and evaluation of human/computer interfaces.
Interface devices (keyboard, pointing, display, audio, etc.), metaphors
(desktop, notecards, rooms, ledger sheets, tables, etc.), interaction
styles and dialog models, design examples, and user-centered design
and task analysis. Interface-development methodologies, implementation
tools, testing, and quality assessment.
- Comp Sci 182- Neural Cognition
This is a course on the current status of interdisciplinary studies
that seeks to answer the following questions: 1. How is it possible
for the human brain, which is a highly structured network of neurons,
to think and to learn, use, and understand language? 2. How are language
and thought related to perception, motor control, and our other neural
systems, including social cognition? 3. How do the computational properties
of neural systems and the specific neural structures of the human brain
shape the nature of thought and language? Much of the course will focus
on the Neural Theory of Language (NTL), which seeks to answer these
questions in terms of architecture and mechanism, using models and simulations
of language and learning phenomena.
- Comp Sci 188- Artificial Intelligence
Basic ideas and techniques underlying the design of intelligent computer
systems. Topics include heuristic search, problem solving, game playing,
knowledge representation, logical inference, planning, reasoning under
uncertainty, expert systems, learning, perception, language understanding.
Linguistics
- Ling 5- Language and Linguistics
An introduction to the scientific study of language.
- Ling 5W- Linguistics Writing Workshop
Taken concurrently with Linguistics 5. Additional readings, exercises
in writing and in the analysis of writing passages and two large writing
assignments on topics related to language and linguistics.
- Ling 100- Linguistic Science
A technical introduction to linguistic science. Practice in phonetics,
production, and transcription; practice in phonological and morphological
analysis; basic steps in grammatical parsing and textual analysis.
- Ling 105- The Mind and Language
Conceptual systems and language from the perspective of cognitive science.
How language gives insight into conceptual structure, reasoning, category-formation,
metaphorical understanding, and the framing of experience. Cognitive
versus formal linguistics. Implications from and for philosophy, anthropology,
literature, artificial intelligence, and politics.
- Ling 110- Phonetics and Phonology
Description, transcription, and analysis of human speech sounds in their
physiological and acoustic aspects, especially as this aids our understanding
of sound change and the psychological mechanisms serving speech.
- Ling 130- Comparitive Historical Linguistics
Methods of reconstruction. Types and explanations of language change.
Dialectology. The establishment of language relationships and subgroupings.
- Ling 139- Language Spread
Linguistic background and the general principles of language spread.
Mechanisms of language spread, including creolization-decreolization,
language planning, and the role of bilingualism. Case studies in language
spread, including Austronesian, Indo-European, Amerindian, Uralic, African,
Sinitic, and Australian languages. Relationship of language spread to
immigration and culture spreads.
Business
- Bus Adm 10- The Corporation and the International Business Environment
An introduction to the study of the modern business enterprise. The
course is taught in five modules, the order of which may vary from semester
to semester. The first examines the role and governance of business
enterprise in a market economy. The second concentrates on financial
issues, while the third looks at the problems of managing people in
organizations. The fourth examines product pricing, marketing, and distribution
issues and the last concentrates on the international business environment.
- Bus Adm 160- Marketing
The evolution of markets and marketing; market structure; marketing
cost and efficiency; public and private regulation; the development
of marketing programs including decisions involving products, price,
promotional distribution.
- Economics 1- Economics

- Statistics 21- Probability and Statistics for Business
Descriptive statistics, probability models and related concepts, sample
surveys, estimates, confidence intervals, tests of significance, controlled
experiments vs. observational studies, correlation and regression.

Psychology and
Philosophy
- Psychology 1- General Psychology
Introduction to the principal areas, problems, and concepts of psychology.

on the nature, implications, and limitations of the computational model
of mind.
