视觉思维（4）

ME101 is at the foundation class for alldesigners and creative people at Stanford. It teaches you how to access yourcreativity through a series of projects, all of which have been redesigned sothat they can be accomplished in an online learning environment. Visualthinking, a powerful adjunct to other problem solving modalities, is developedand exercised in the context of solving some fun and challenging designproblems. Along the way, the class expands you access to your imagination,helps you see more clearly with the "mind's eye:”, and learn how to dorapid visualization and prototyping. The emphasis on basic creativity, learningto build in the 3D world, and fluent and flexible idea production.

企业管理和组织（4）

Grand challenges of our time will demandentirely new ways of thinking about when, how, and under what conditionsorganizations are "doing good" and what effects that has. Focus is onthe role of organizations in society, the ways that organizations can "dogood," the challenges organizations face in attempting to "dogood", limitations to current ways of organizing, alternative ways toorganize and lead organizations that are "good," and the role andresponsibilities of individuals in organizations. Students will reflect on andrefine their own values and purpose to identify ways in which they can "dogood." This course has been designated as a Cardinal Course by theHaas Center for Public Service.

数学与数据科学：

微积分（3）

Introduction to differential calculus offunctions of one variable. Review of elementary functions (includingexponentials and logarithms), limits, rates of change, the derivative and itsproperties, applications of the derivative. 

线性代数、多变量微积分和现代应用（5）

This course provides unified coverage oflinear algebra and multivariable differential calculus. It discussesapplications connecting the material to many quantitative fields.  Linearalgebra in large dimensions underlies the scientific, data-driven, andcomputational tasks of the 21st century. The linear algebra portion of thecourse includes orthogonality, linear independence, matrix algebra, andeigenvalues as well as ubiquitious applications: least squares, linearregression, Markov chains (relevant to population dynamics, molecularchemistry, and PageRank), singular value decomposition (essential in imagecompression, topic modeling, and data-intensive work in the natural sciences),and more. The multivariable calculus material includes unconstrainedoptimization via gradients and Hessians (used for energy minimization inphysics and chemistry), constrained optimization (via Lagrange multipliers,crucial in economics), gradient descent and the multivariable Chain Rule (whichunderlie many machine learning algorithms, such as backpropagation), andNewton's method (a crucial part of how GPS works).  The course emphasizescomputations alongside an intuitive understanding of key ideas, makingstudents well-prepared for further study of mathematics and its applications toother fields. The widespread use of computers makes it more important, notless, for users of math to understand concepts: in all scientific fields, novelusers of quantitative tools in the future will be those who understand ideasand how they fit with applications and examples.  This is the only courseat Stanford whose syllabus includes nearly all the math background for CS 229,which is why CS 229 and CS 230 specifically recommend it (or other coursesresting on it). For frequently asked questions about the differences betweenMath 51 and CME 100, see the FAQ on the placement page on the math departmentwebsite.

真相、证据和概率：哲学和逻辑推理简介（3）

This course will serve as a firstintroduction to the formal tools and techniques of contemporary philosophy,including probability and formal logic. Traditionally, philosophy is an attemptto systematically tackle foundational problems related to value, inquiry, mindand reality. Contemporary philosophy continues this tradition of criticalthinking with modern subject matter (often engaging with natural, social andmathematical science) and modern rigorous methods, including the methods of settheory, probability theory and formal logic. The aim of this course is tointroduce such methods, along with various core philosophical distinctions andmotivations. The focus will be on basic conceptual underpinnings and skills,not technical details. The material covered is also useful preparation forcertain topics in mathematics, computer science, linguistics, economics andstatistics. No previous philosophical or mathematical training is presupposed,though an appreciation of precise thinking is an advantage.

This course aims to blend a comprehensiveoverview of social psychology with in-depth lectures exploring the history ofthe field, reviewing major findings and highlighting areas of current research.The course will focus on classic studies that have profoundly changed ourunderstanding of human nature and social interaction, and, in turn, havetriggered significant paradigm shifts within the field. Some of the topicscovered in this class will include: individuals and groups, conformity andobedience, attraction, intergroup relations, and judgment and decision-making.The course, overall, will attempt to foster interest in social psychology aswell as scientific curiosity in a fun, supportive and intellectually stimulatingenvironment.

人格心理学（3）

This course will focus on currentempirical and theoretical approaches to personality. Lectures will be organizedaround the following questions central to personality research: How and why dopeople differ? How do we measure individual differences? Does personalitychange over time? How does personality interact with sociocultural factors toinfluence behavior? What makes people happy? What are the physical, mental, andsocial consequences of personalities?

全球化与社会变革（4）

How do we make sense of a world that isbecoming increasingly interconnected, and where social problems like climatechange, democratization, human rights, and economic stability are increasinglyglobal in their scope? How have international institutions attempted toregulate these processes and maintain social order? Why have recent social andpolitical movements in an increasing number of countries targeted globalizationas a source of their society's problems? In this course, we will explore howglobalization is as an economic, political, and cultural process that shapesmajor social problems in today's world. To do so, we will draw on a range oftheories and interdisciplinary research in economics, political science, andsociology.

写作和演讲：

为什么气候变化令人难以置信？跨学科的环境行动方法（5）

The course will run on two paralleltracks: on the one hand, we will delve into textual representations andarguments; on the other hand, we will attempt to develop a sensibility for howclimate change makes itself manifest in the physical world through a series ofworkshops and site visits in the Bay Area. The first track of this course willcenter on the discussion of three science fiction novels: The Hungry Tide byAmitav Ghosh, The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu, and Parable of the Sower by OctaviaButler. The second track of this course is comprised of a series of workshopsthat aims to develop spatial and material literacy relevant to climate changeawareness. It will engage topics such as: scale, atmosphere, measure, materialreciprocity, and garbage repurposing. One of the primary goals of this courseis to not only understand the problem of climate change, but also how to bestact upon it. Thus, the required final assignment for this class can be arecommendation for action based on a critical review of the topic of climatechange and already existing activism. It can take the form of a paper, a video,an installation art project, a podcast, etc.. But in all cases your work mustanalytically engage the specific medium of literary expression.
