The Science Core fulfills the Institute Requirements in Math, Physics and Chemistry. These courses stress technical competence in handling the material as well as the intellectual grasp of it. In scheduled as well as informal recitation sessions, the students may practice their mastery under guidance by faculty and tutors. The Concourse Chemistry course is novel in that it covers both solid-state chemistry and the conventional chemistry coverage, and offers a brief introduction to organic chemistry as well. The courses are equal in rigor to those of the Institute but are administered much more personally since we have at most 60 students in the group.
Psychology is the study of behavior and mental life.
Any statement that you can make about yourself has behind it a host of psychological questions. Perhaps you woke without help. We could continue and we could perform the same exercise for an infinite set of statements. Since this is a HASS-D course, you will do a significant amount of writing during the term. Psychology may be the perfect HASS-D field since the study of behavior and mental life will allow us to make connections between the worlds of science and engineering and those of humanities, arts and social science.
