<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The purpose of this seminar is to study the chemistry and biology of sport and the effect of exercise and nutrition on athletic performance
and physical fitness. We will be able to use our own bodies to measure how exercise affects the body, through observations recorded in a training journal. We will look at nutrition and supplements (both legal and prohibited) to understand their impact on athletic
performance; the effect of diet and exercise on anatomic and metabolic systems; the various biochemical reactions triggered by exercise; the role of endorphins, changes in blood chemistry and ways of stimulating long-term changes in your metabolism and even
changes to our genetic programming. We will examine our own unique body chemistry and study how genetics, age and body type play a role in these physical and molecular changes that science is only beginning to understand. Finally, we will also examine the
chemistry of sports equipment including swimming, cycling, and running equipment and its effect on athletic performance. The COVID restrictions have changed the way that we work and play. We will approach this seminar as way to educate ourselves in working
out in the new normal. We will look at how the sports industry has adapted to COVID and see what lessons we can learn to apply to our own lives. <i>Instructors: Patti Christie and Steve Lyons; Meets T 3-5pm, 6 units</i> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

Shouldn’t you know how they work? In this seminar, students will learn how Kalman filters are built and how to use them successfully in real-world applications. Kalman filter calculations will be covered in mathematical detail. Example problems and demonstrations
will be pulled from Kalman filter applications in NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN). Students will cover background material in probability and state-space representations, Bayesian and variance minimization derivations of the Kalman filter, and performance-affecting
approximations and generalizations. Semester projects will demonstrate Kalman filter performance improvements with various datasets. <i>Instructors: Joseph Griffin, Jeremy Orloff; Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-8 pm, 6 units</i></span><o:p></o:p></h4>

requires launching something in the market and iterating to reach the nirvana of product-market-fit. Unfortunately, for every successful company that was built by over-relying on iteration, there’s a vast graveyard of failures. When we iterate without a clear
vision or strategy, our products become bloated, fragmented, and driven by irrelevant metrics. They catch “product diseases” that often kill innovation. In the process, we also create collateral damage in society in the form of digital pollution. In this seminar
with the author of Radical Product Thinking, you’ll gain a refreshing perspective on the shortcomings of how we build products and businesses today. We’ll challenge today’s mantras of innovation and learn how each of us can build successful, world-changing
products in a repeatable manner. We’ll have thought-provoking discussions on how we’re creating digital pollution and how we can embrace the responsibility that comes with the superpower of building successful products. By the end of this seminar, you’ll have
gained practical tools to develop a vision for the change you want to bring about in the world and translate that systematically into reality. <i>Instructor: Radhika Dutt; Meets Fridays 3-5 pm, 6 units</i><b> </b></span><o:p></o:p></p>
