· G53.1110:
Mathematics for Political Scientists Covers basic topics of
mathematics- calculus, analytic geometry, matrix algebra, etc.-with wide
application in political science. (Fall 2004)
· V53.0840:
Game Theory for Political Scientists This
course introduces the basic concepts of elementary game theory in a way that
allows you to use them in solving simple problems. And second, it gives a flavor
of how game theory can be used in the study of political science by presenting a
wide array of example applications. In addition, throughout the course we will
discuss evidence from experiments and from other sources that bears on when we
should expect game theory to be most useful in applied studies, an when we might
reasonably have doubts about the types of predictions that it makes about human
behavior. (Fall 2004)
· G53.3200.002:
Experimental Methods in Political ScienceThis course is designed
to provide an introduction to experimental methods in political science for
graduate students. The emphasis of the course will be on several different
styles of laboratory experiments, but field experiments (and briefly, survey
experiments) will also be discussed. (Fall 2003)
