How do we infer which genes orchestrate various processes in the cell? How did humans migrate out of Africa and spread around the world? In this class, we will see that these two seemingly different questions can be addressed using similar algorithmic and machine learning techniques arising from the general problem of dividing data points into distinct clusters.

Biologists still cannot read the nucleotides of an entire genome as you would read a book from beginning to end. However, they can read short pieces of DNA. In this course, we will see how graph theory can be used to assemble genomes from these short pieces. We will further learn about brute force algorithms and apply them to sequencing mini-proteins called antibiotics. Finally, you will learn how to apply popular bioinformatics software tools to sequence the genome of a deadly Staphylococcus bacterium.

After sequencing genomes, we would like to compare them. We will see that dynamic programming is a powerful algorithmic tool when we compare two genes (i.e., short sequences of DNA) or two proteins. When we "zoom out" to compare entire genomes, we will employ combinatorial algorithms.

In this course, we will see how evolutionary trees resolve quandaries from finding the origin of a deadly virus to locating the birthplace of modern humans. We will then use methods from computational proteomics to test whether we can reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex proteins and prove that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

This course begins a series of classes illustrating the power of computing in modern biology. Please join us on the frontier of bioinformatics to look for hidden messages in DNA without ever needing to put on a lab coat. After warming up our algorithmic muscles, we will learn how randomized algorithms can be used to solve problems in bioinformatics.

Human Capital Management (HCM) and Human Resources (HR) are key to running any business. That’s why SAP SuccessFactors includes a full suite of cloud-based solutions to support the entire HR lifecycle including recruiting, onboarding, performance management, payroll, and much more. But where should you start and how do you implement and integrate SAP SuccessFactors into your current systems? That’s where SAP SuccessFactors rapid-deployment solutions (RDS) come into play. SAP SuccessFactors RDS packages are best practices for implementing SuccessFactors and consist of proven and tested configurations, presentations, test scripts, offline demos, and other tools to help you get up and running with SuccessFactors both quickly and predictably.

This course explores the fundamental connections between mathematics and music. Students will have the opportunity to learn about acoustics and music theory through a mathematical lens. At the core of music are patterns, structures, and relationships that can be understood mathematically. The course will provide opportunities for students to play with and explore some of the concepts, including scales, the Fourier series, beats, rhythm, and harmonics.

Au plus tard en février 2016, le droit des contrats français aura été réformé par voie d’ordonnance, ainsi que le prévoit la loi du 16 février 2015 relative à la modernisation et à la simplification du droit et des procédures dans les domaines de la justice et des affaires intérieures. Un projet d’ordonnance a été soumis à consultation publique au début de l’année 2015, ce qui a suscité de nombreuses observations, dont une partie a été rendue publique. A l’heure où le MOOC débutera, le texte définitif de la réforme sera connu et pourra donc être étudié.

If you really care about the big questions in the economies and societies of the 21st century, such as distributive justice - namely, inequality of income or wealth, and its correlation with economic growth - this course is meant for you. The knowledge you will gain can truly change your outlook on our world.
