Built in stone, these enormous religious complexes stand among the most ambitious sacred structures in the world. The largest of its kind, Borobudur, an eighth-century Buddhist monument in central Java, is conceived as a cosmic mountain, stupa, and mandala. It comprises 504 stone Buddha images and more than 2,600 narrative reliefs that illustrate key Buddhist teachings and stories. Angkor Wat is a twelfth-century Khmer temple dedicated to Vishnu and the largest Hindu monument in the world. Celebrated for its immense scale and intricately carved bas-reliefs drawn from Hindu epics, Angkor Wat represents the pinnacle of Khmer architectural achievement. Through close analysis of architecture, sculpture, and bas-relief, the course explores how these monuments articulate religious cosmology, assert political authority, and demonstrate extraordinary artistic ingenuity.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"course-teaser-course\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"278\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Photo of Gina A.

The centrality of fieldwork and ethnography to the discipline is also a core concept of the course. Through readings, multimedia, and discussion, students examine relationships among ethnomusicology, musicology, anthropology, and world music, and consider the implications of globalization to the field as a whole. Students explore applied music learning as well as performance as a research technique through participation in several hands-on workshops with the Bates Gamelan Ensemble. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"course-teaser-course\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Photo of Tristan E.

The subject&#8217;s early development was intimately connected with understanding rates of change within the context of the physical sciences. Since then, it has proven to be widely applicable throughout the natural sciences and some social sciences, as well as crucial to the development of most modern technology. This course develops the key notions of derivatives and integrals and their interrelationship, as well as applications. An emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding and interpretation, as well as on computational skills. Students concurrently enroll in a discussion section.
