Topics include astronomical observations, radio navigation systems, the relationship between conventional navigation results and those obtained from GPS, and the effects of the security systems, Selective Availability, and anti-spoofing on GPS results. Laboratory sessions cover the use of sextants, astronomical telescopes, and field use of GPS. Application areas covered include ship, automobile, and aircraft navigation and positioning, including very precise positioning applications. From the course home page: Course Description The development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) started in the 1960s, and the system became operational in 1992. The system has seen many diverse applications develop in the last few years with the accuracy of positioning ranging from 100 meters (the civilian restricted accuracy requirement) to 1 millimeter (without the need for a security clearance!) In this course we will apply many of basic principles of science and mathematics learnt at MIT to explore the applications and principles of GPS. We also use GPS and other equipment in the class (and outside on Campus) to demonstrate the uses of this system. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39820 Herring, T.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This subject will introduce students to scholarship about folk music of the British Isles and North America. We will define the qualities of "folk music" and "folk poetry," including the narrative qualities of ballads, and we will try to recreate the historical context in which such music was an essential part of everyday life. We will survey the history of collecting, beginning with Pepys' collection of broadsides, Percy's Reliques and the Gow collections of fiddle tunes. The urge to collect folk music will be placed in its larger historical, social and political contexts. We will trace the migrations of fiddle styles and of sung ballads to look at the broad outlines of the story of collecting folk music in the USA, especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39425 Perry, Ruth Ruckert, George 2007-11-02T05:33:29-04:00 21L.423 21M.223J en-US Literature Folk music -- United States Music History, Literature, and Theory 21M.223 fiddle styles balladry folk revival seventeenth century British Isles music preservation music transmission music production folk music Music and Theater Arts MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This class first offers some basic analytical frameworks -- culture, social structure, and institutions -- that you can use examine a wide range of political outcomes. We then use these frameworks to understand (1) the relationship between democracy and economic development and (2) the relative centralization of political authority across countries. We will use theoretical arguments and a wide range of case studies to address several questions: Why are some countries democratic and others not? How does democracy affect economic development and political conflict? Why do some countries centralize power while others threaten to fall apart through secession and civil war? We will use examples from a wide range of countries including Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Mexico, and the United States. The lessons drawn from these countries will prepare you to analyze other countries of your own choosing in the paper assignments. At the end of the course, you should be able to analyze political events around the world, drawing on the theoretical explanations provided in the class. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39421 Lawson, Chappell H., 1967- 2007-11-02T12:15:10-04:00 17.50 en-US Political Science Political Science and Government, General China post-Communist Russia Yugoslavia ethnic violence Mexico corruption Brazil market-oriented reform Weimar Germany India ethnic conflict political conflict economic development political institutions Democracy MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

From the course home page: Course Description Economic Development Planning Skills introduces analytical tools that are used to assess local economic development conditions, issues, and opportunities as part of formulating economic development plans. The course is designed to provide MCP students with skills needed for applied economic development planning work in other courses, particularly Economic Development Planning (11.438) and Revitalizing Urban Main Streets (11.439). Consequently, it omits many aspects of economic development planning and does not provide a complete overview or introduction to economic development practice. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39139 Seidman, Karl F. 2007-10-12T08:42:42-04:00 11.967 en-US Urban Studies and Planning City planning Urban Studies/Affairs Formulating Economic Development Plans Opportunites Issues Conditions Economic Development Local MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course introduces scholarly debates about sexual identities, gender identities and expressions, and sexual orientation and its representation in various media. We begin with an investigation of the theoretical underpinnings of the emerging field of queer studies, from the nineteenth century to the present day. Tracing theories of and about gender, sexuality and sexual identity over time, we will examine the genealogy of "queer" as a term that has emerged to trouble and challenge static and essentialized notions of identity. The social, cultural, and political effect of "queer" has been to pose critical challenges to gay/lesbian/straight identities predicated on a sexual binary. Queer studies shifts the focus of inquiry from sexual identities to sexual practices, many of which contradict traditional assumptions about the relationships between sex, gender, and sexuality. The course moves from a philosophical consideration of key theoretical texts (Foucault, Freud, Sedgwick, Rubin, Butler, etc.) to an exploration of the impact of those theories on historical and contemporary sexual and gender identities and communities. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39128 Surkan, Kim 2007-10-05T02:36:12-04:00 SP.406 WMN.406 en-US Special Programs Gay/Lesbian Studies feminism AIDs gay marriage homosexual homosexuality butler rubin sedgwick foucault freud sexuality sexual practices straight identities lesbian gay queer studies sexual orientation queer gender gender identities sexual identity gender studies women Women's and Gender Studies MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
