CS 61A - Spring 08 - The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Instructor Brian Harvey
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.
UC Berkeley scientists tested whether an antihydrogen atom has an electric charge. They continually pounded it with an electric field, which would have resulted in the anti-atom eventually getting knocked out of their trap. The anti-atom did not leave the trap, indicating that it has almost no electric charge.

Integrative Biology 131: General Human Anatomy. Fall 2005. Professor Marian Diamond. The functional anatomy of the human body as revealed by gross and microscopic examination.
The Department of Integrative Biology offers a program of instruction that focuses on the integration of structure and function in the evolution of diverse biological systems. It investigates integration at all levels of organization from molecules to the biosphere, and in all taxa of organisms from viruses to higher plants and animals.
The department uses many traditional fields and levels of complexity in forging new research directions, asking new questions, and answering traditional questions in new ways. The various...
Berkeley's Goalball class brings together sighted and blind students to learn the game and also study the theoretical framework by which sports and fitness opportunities impact the disability community.
Goalball is a team sport similar to soccer, yet designed for the visually impaired. Sighted athletes also participate by wearing blacked-out goggles. Participants compete in teams of three, and try to throw an audible ball into the opponents' goal.
Recreational Sport Department coordinator, Matt Grigorieff, discusses the genesis of Berkeley's "Fitness-for-All" program and how the game and course is conducted.
Professor Derek Van Rheenen has partnered with the Recreational Sports Department, the Bay Area Outreach and Recreational Program (BORP), and the American Cultures Engaged Scholar Program to offer the course.
