"WAIT! We know what you're thinking - but this is a math course unlike any in your past experience! This course is being taught with a radical new concept: math that makes sense! Now you can learn math where ideas and concepts are motivated by real world problems that we want to solve - NOT artificial problems that can't be used in real life. By solving the mystery of human speech through a study of sound waves, a basis is laid for the understanding of difficult mathematical concepts. This course teaches wave analysis, Fourier series, Fourier Transforms, and even the Fast Fourier Transform Method. Truly interdisciplinary, the course focuses on applications of these methods in sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, engineering, medicine, broadcasting, speech and communication, linguistics, photography, and the arts. Group projects will allow you to explore application in your own area of study. Enhanced by computer lab exercises, the course permits students to use software used in psychology, linguistics, speech and communication, geology, biology, chemistry, and physics. As with all Honors courses, enrollment is limited to no more than twenty students. This course is especially recommended for students in Technology, Engineering, Business, Nursing, Pre-med, and Audiology." (Matt Kubik, [former] Director of the IPFW Honors Program)
