Repin, Vrubel, Filonov), composers (Mussorgsky , Tchaikovsky, and Stravinsky), and film-directors (Protazanov, Eisenstein), as well as non-fictional documents such a s Russian medical, judicial, political, and philosophical treatises and essays on madness . The problem of madness has preoccupied Russian minds since the very beginning of Russia's troubled history. This subject has been dealt with repeatedly in medieval vitae and modern stories, plays, paintings, films, and operas, as well as medical, political and philosophical essays. This issue has been treated by a number of brilliant Russian authors and artists not only as a medical or psychological matter, but also as a metaphysical one, touching the deepest levels of human consciousness, encompassing problems of suffering, imagination, history, sex, social and world order, evil, retribution, death, and the after-life. Therefore it is illuminating for a deeper understanding of Russian culture to examine how major Russian authors have depicted madness and madmen in their works, how these works reflected the authors' psychological, aesthetic and ideological views, as well as historical and cultural processes in Russia. <SPAN style="font-family:'sans-serif', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-size:

Penn - Nazi Cinema.

M) Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. Richter/MacLeod. Cinema played a crucial role in the cultural life of Nazi Germany. As cinema enthusiasts, Goebbels and Hitler were among the first to realize the important ideological potential of film as a mass medium and saw to it that Germany remained a cinema powerhouse producing more than a 1000 films during the Nazi era. This general requirement course explores the world of Nazi cinema ranging from infamous propaganda pieces such as The Triumph of the Will and The Eternal Jew to entertainments by important directors such as Pabst and Douglas Sirk. More than sixty years later, Nazi Cinema challenges us to grapple with issues of more subtle ideological insinuation than we might think. The course also includes film responses to developments in Germany by exiled German directors (Pabst, Wilder) and concludes with Mel Brooks' The Producers. All lectures and readings in English. Weekly screenings with subtitles.

Penn - Logic In Computer Science.

C) Prerequisite(s): CSE 260 . Logic has been called the calculus of computer science as it plays a fundamental role in computer science, similar t o that played by calculus in the physical sciences and traditional engineerng disciplines. Indeed, logic is useful in area s of computer science as disparate as architecture (logic gates), software engineerng (specification and verification) , programming languages (semantics, logic programming), databases (relational algebra and SQL), artificial intelligenc e (automatic theorem proving), algorithms (complexity and expressiveness), and theory of computation (general notion s of computability). CSE 482 provides the students with a thorough introduction to mathematical logic, covering in depth the topics of syntax, semantics, decision procedures, formal proof systems, and soundness and completeness for both propositional and first-order logic. The material is taught froma computer science perspective, with an emphasis on algorithms, computational complexity, and tools. Projects will focus on problems in circuit design, specification and analysis and protocols, and query evaluation in databases. <IMG height=23 alt="Penn Home" src="/registrar/registrar-images/home

Particular attention is paid to th e structures, analyses, and transformations used in program optimization . 571.

PHIL411) Recursion Theory. (A) The course covers the basic theory of recursive and recursively enumerable sets and the connection between this theory and a variety of decision problems of interest in a computational setting. The course will then proceed to an exposition of recursion theoretic reducibilities. Elementary results about degrees of unsolvability are established. The theory of arithmetical, analytical, and projective hierarchies will be presented. The study of functionals at this point will provide an entry into the computationally important subject of recursion at higher types. Basic parts of the theory of inductive definitions and monotone operators will be presented. If time and interest permit, this theory will be applied to the analysis of the semantical paradoxes. The course will conclude with an investigation of the lower levels of the analytical and projective hierarchies. Applications to the degrees of unsolvability of various logical systems will be presented, connections between the hierarchies and predicative formal systems will be established, and the relation between the theory of the projective hierarchy and topics in classical descriptive set theory will be indicated. <SPAN style="font-family:'sans-serif', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-size:

L) Barstow. Neutral during WWII, and claiming a "Middle Way" between east and west in the post-war twentieth century, Sweden its people, institutions, and culture - has left its mark on our global society. In today's world, the influence of Swedish ideas and innovations can be seen in government structures, health and social policies, business organizations, working life, education, science, art, literature, and, of course, the design and style of many products and services which enjoy high demand. These are impressive impacts from a nation-state of only eight million people. What lessons are there for Americans and our institutions as we enter the twenty-first century where our leadership position, ability to determine the rules and control the agenda of world economic and political affairs is possibly diminished? This course will include meetings with academics and leaders from industry, government, health care, science, media, arts and culture. Students will meet with and learn from these representatives in order to explore Swedish organizational dynamics, both in terms of its economic prosperity and the problems Swedish society faces today.
