...Medical School has its own intrinsic activities but has deep collaborative connections to the hospitals in the Longwood area but also needs, because of the changes in science, connections to physics and chemistry and engineering and applied math,” Provost Steven E. Hyman said in interview. “Allston can serve as a place where those kinds of connections can be more easily made...
...seniors graduate this week and reflect upon their academic life at Harvard, they may ask themselves the question: How well has Harvard taught me to understand others in my world?Those in math, engineering, and the sciences have learned a common language with which to communicate with fellow practitioners across the globe. Those in the social sciences cannot boast such concrete understanding, but Harvard’s Social Studies program has gone a long way toward promoting international concerns. Those in the humanities, however, may despair—although they may know everything there is to know about postwar Georgia...
...approved for Gen Ed credit. But two introductory courses were approved at the final meeting: “Life Sciences 1a” and “Life Sciences 1b,” both of which will count for Science of Living Systems credit. An advanced math class was also approved. Mathematics professor Lauren K. Williams’ Mathematics 154: “Probability Theory” will count toward Empirical and Mathematical Reasoning. “Obviously that’s a course most students are never going to take,” Harris said...
...largely forgotten 100-year-old sonnet is counterintuitive, bear with me, because it’s completely appropriate. Before this year began, I had no idea that I would be preparing to put myself before a class of middle schoolers and try to teach them math, of all things. As a person who stutters, the idea of teaching younger students was something that had never occurred to me, something that I would have said was simply beyond me. I went through Harvard with vague ideas of graduate school (while trying not to think about what speaking in front...
