Why Study History?The discipline of history focuses on critical analysis of text-based evidence from the past and seeks a detailed, complex understanding of individual and collective human behaviors as they have emerged, intersected, and altered over time. Historical study examines and attempts to explain processes of change over time as they pertain to cultures, nations, institutions, value systems, and other major social phenomena. Historians also consider and outline patterns of causation

The word anthropology comes from the Greek words anthropos, meaning human, and logos, which refers to doctrine, theory or science.
psychology. Often, anthropological research is multidisciplinary, with specialized divisions including paleoethnobotany, taphonomy and forensics. In the United states the study of anthropology is sub-divided into four major areas of specialization: cultural, archaeological, linguistic and biological anthropology. Cultural Anthropology (Ethnology) studies living human cultures in order to create a cross-cultural understanding of human behavior – distinguished by field-research conducted via participant

253.535.7536 www.plu.edu/physics/ physics@plu.edu Bret Underwood, Ph.D., Chair Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level: the mathematical description of space and time and the behavior of matter from the elementary particles to the universe as a whole. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors or the life cycles of stars. Physicists use high

Mission StatementWhat is studying history all about at PLU? Traditionally, the discipline of history has focused on the critical analysis of text-based evidence from the past and seeks a detailed, complex understanding of individual and collective human behaviors as they have changed over time. PLU students of history develop lifelong habits of critical thinking, inquiry-based reading of texts, effective research and technical skills, and the appreciation of complexity and diversity in human

Why Study Physics?Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine

courses. The SVD allows you to decompose a rectangular matrix into component matrices, unlike spectral decomposition (or eigendecomposition) which can only be applied to square matrices. The component matrices provide interesting and important information about the original matrix, which is why the SVD has many applications, including its use in principal component analysis. 2:30-2:55pm – Hedging: A Method of Financial Risk Management Alex Ellis Investors spend money with the hopes of making a profit
