Le métier de sociologue (video)
Pour la plupart des étudiants de premier cycle, la sociologie s'apparente davantage à une propédeutique aux concours administratifs qu'à un débouché vers le métier de sociologue. Une enquête menée par Odile Piriou auprès d'étudiants en sociologie a montré qu'ils ne s'identifient guère à des "sociologues". Ce n'est pas le cas pour leurs confrères de "philo", de "psycho" ou encore "d'éco". Et si l'identification s'opère, c'est en référ
Studies in robust estimation and control
Effective monitoring and tight control of chemical, petrochemical and biochemical processes are often hindered by the absence of frequent measurements of important process variables that are related to product quality, the presence of process-model mismatch, unmeasureable disturbances, measurement noise, and highly nonlinear process dynamics. This dissertation presents new methods of nonlinear estimation and control in the presence of such practical problems. Simulation and real-time implementat
Process Dynamics and Controls, Fall 2008
Introduction to process control in chemical engineering. Application of linearization methods to the analysis of open-loop and closed-loop process dynamics. Stability analysis and gain/phase margins. Controller modes and settings. Applications to the control of level, flow, heat exchangers, reactors, and elementary multivariable systems.

Mathematics for Computer Science
A basic introduction to Calculus and Linear Algebra. The goal is to make students mathematically literate in preparation for studying a scientific/engineering discipline. The first week covers differential calculus: graphing functions, limits, derivatives, and applying differentiation to real-world problems, such as maximization and rates of change. The second week covers integral calculus: sums, integration, areas under curves and computing volumes. This is not meant to be a comprehensive calcu
RobertNiles.com: Statistics Every Writer Should Know
Robert Niles, a journalist and producer for the LA Times, created this site to help other writers learn the basics of statistics. He explains many key concepts that are essential to report accurate, meaningful numbers and facts. After starting with the fundamentals of mean, median, and percent, Niles goes on to describe more advanced topics like normal distribution, margin of error, and data analysis. For each section, an example or two are provided to demonstrate proper usage of the techniques.
Statistics
This course introduces students to the basic concepts, logic, and issues involved in statistical reasoning. Major topics include exploratory data analysis, an introduction to research methods, probability, and statistical inference. The objectives of this course are to give students confidence in manipulating and drawing conclusions from data and provide them with a critical framework for evaluating study designs and results. An important feature of the course is the use of an intelligent tutori
Vers une nouvelle interface de lecture pour des forums de discussion dédiés à des élaborations c
Dans le cadre de l'apprentissage collaboratif assisté par ordinateur (ACAO ou CSCL), les forums de discussion occupent une place centrale. Si de multiples recherches leur sont consacrées, elles se centrent pour l'essentiel soit sur des méthodes d'analyse a posteriori du contenu, de la dynamique des échanges et des réseaux sociaux, soit sur le calcul d'indices de participation, éventuellement présentés aux participants en cours d'activité. Suite à un symposium de recherche, organisé Ã
Logic
Logic and Proofs is an introduction to modern symbolic logic. It provides a rigorous presentation of the syntax and semantics of sentential and predicate logic. However, the distinctive emphasis is on strategic argumentation. Students learn effective strategies for constructing natural deduction proofs. This learning is supported by the Carnegie Proof Lab: it provides a sophisticated interface, in which students can give arguments by strategically guided forward and backward steps.
Causal Reasoning
Does excessive exposure to violent video games cause violent behavior? Does increased gun availability cause more crime or less? Causal claims permeate everyday life and are constantly the subject of "studies" reported in the newspaper. The material in Causal and Statistical Reasoning examines the nature of causal claims and the statistical sorts of evidence used to support them. The material is contained in: approximately 20 content modules, a repository of over 100 short case studies, and a "C
Doris Chase: Artist in Motion
In this 1991 program, the late Doris Chase discusses her work as a painter, sculpter, and video artist. Chase is best remembered as a pioneer in using computer imaging to manipulate video images to create dreamlike, colorful works. Examples of her work, including the acclaimed "Circles II" and snippets from the "By Herself: Table for One" series are shown, with artist commentary.
