Modify Behavioural Neuroscience Major and Honours Programs

a.

Delete PHYS 130 and replace it with 2 units of electives

b. Change MBB 221 to MBB 201 in 8NS Major and Honours

Rationale: Theses changes were made to all of our other programs several

years ago and should have been carried forward to the Behavioral Neuroscience

Major

and Honors programs.

9. Delete the Following courses from the calendar and from the II.t of

upper division electives for the;

Biomedical Physiology Major, Honors and Minor

Kinesiology Major - Active Health and Rehabilitation Concentration

Kinesiology Major - Ergonomics Concentration

Kinesiology Minor

Behavioral Neuroscience Major and Honors

Kin

367-3 - Psychology of Motor Skill Acquisition

Kin

383-3 - Human Machine and Human Computer Interaction

Kin 416-3 - Control of Limb Mechanics

Kin

442-3 - Biomedical Systems

Kin 467-3 - Human Motor Control

Kin 485-4 - Human Factors in the Underwater Environment

Kin 486-3 - Ergonomics in the Design of Consumer Products

Rationale: These courses have not been offered for several years and the

course designers have retired. Kin 383 and Kin 486 will no longer be offered as

part of the Ergonomics concentration.

MI\TH 441 • Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry

Topics:

A

study of ideals and varieties. Topics include affine varieties, ideals, the Hilbert basis

theorem,

resultants

and

elimination.

Hilbert's

Nullstellensatz,

irreducible

varieties

and

prime

ideals,

decomposition

of.

varieties.

polynomial

mappings,

quotient

rings,

projective

space and projective varieties. Additional topics depending on the instructor: Groebner

bases and automatic theorem proving in geometry. Bezoufs theorem. dimension, and

elliptic curves.

Outline:

An Introduction to the objects of algebraic geometry: polynomials (in one or more

variables over a field). varieties (solutions of systems of polynomial equations), ideals,

Groebner pases, and quotient rings. This is a generalization of the theory of linear

systems and linear algebra to treat systems of non-linear polynomial equations. The

discovery

of

Groebner bases by Bushberger in 1965, followed by the development of

software implementations for computing Groebner bases has made possible a very

constructive approach to this subject. Throughout the course we will be using Maple for

dOing calculations.

Ideals and Varieties:

Polynomials,

ideals

and

varieties

Curves and surfaces in two and three dimensions

Parametrizatlons

of

affine

varieties

Groebner Bases:

The division algorithm, the Hllbery basis theorem and Groebner bases

Buchbergers algorithm In two and three dimensions

Parametrizations

of

affine

varieties

Elimination Theory

Elimination theory, implicitization of curves and surfaces. unique

factorization,

and

polynomial

resultants.
