Extractions: I. INTRODUCTION Welcome to a stimulating and gratifying profession! As a prospective student we encourage you to become acquainted with the exciting and rewarding career opportunities provided by the undergraduate programs in Resource Economics at the University of Connecticut. Resource Economics is a diverse, exciting, and dynamic discipline. The field applies economics and business methods to the production and marketing of food products and the management of environmental and natural resources. Why Major in Resource Economics at UConn? Reason #1: The flexibility of the program allows students to go through either a structured curriculum or, with the assistance of the faculty, to create one to meet individual career goals. Possible areas of specialization include Marketing and Business Management, Environmental Economics and Policy, Regional Economic Development, Agricultural Economics, and Economic Development and Trade. Reason #2: The rewarding career opportunities available to graduates include managerial and policy analyst positions in corporations, government, or in their own businesses. Recent graduates are employed in leadership positions throughout Connecticut and the Northeast in institutions such as Merrill Lynch, the Connecticut Farm Bureau and Traveler's Insurance Company. Some graduates pursue further academic training such as Graduate School or Law School.

Extractions: The Carleton mathematics major is designed to reflect the depth and diversity of modern mathematics. We seek to provide an accurate picture of the nature of mathematics itself and of its connections to other disciplines. Specifically, in our courses, seminars, colloquia, and other activities, we aim to further your education in mathematics by covering a broad range of mathematical topics; by increasing your ability to read and to write mathematical proofs; by helping you become a competent mathematical problem solver; by exposing you to the mathematical literature available in our excellent library; by exhibiting connections between the various branches of mathematics and between mathematics and other academic disciplines. The Carleton mathematics major captures the spirit of modern mathematics. Our lower-division courses (Mathematics 111, 121, 211, 232 and 236) provide a firm foundation upon which further study in mathematics can be undertaken. Our upper-division courses (those numbered above 236) present in detail the many aspects of mathematics. Taken together, the eleven courses required for the mathematics major provide our students with a firm, broad introduction to mathematics. Finally, the senior comprehensive exercise enables our majors to study, in depth, a specific mathematical topic of particular interest. Now for the details.

Extractions: Originally published in 1983, this biography of one of the pioneers of computer design is even more pertinent today in light of the phenomenal growth of the Internet. This new edition for high schoolers and older includes information made public only after the end of the Cold War, particularly Turing's contributions in cracking the Nazi Enigma. Originally published in 1884, Flatland tells the story of A. Square, a plane figure, taken to a land of three dimensions. Stewart, a mathematics professor, has annotated this math classic, revealing much of the history and science underlying Abbotts book, subjects as diverse as phrenology, ancient Babylon, Karl Marx, the Gregorian calendar, and the mathematician George Boole. Ample margins provide details, references, and explanatory drawings. The book ends with an essay on the fourth dimension in mathematics and bibliographies of Abbott and Charles Howard Hinton. Forbes ASAP is a bimonthly technology magazine. Big Issues is a collection of 66 essays from the first five years, examining the impact of digital technology on society, culture, and individuals. Writers encountered are as diverse as Muhammad Ali and Bill Gates, John Updike and Chuck Yeager. This is probably best used as a source book for teachers, as some of the issues are controversial.

You would find a job as an investment analyst, or stock broker, appealing if you like excitement and constant change. An investment analyst gathers pertinent facts on the past performance of management, markets, price/earnings ratios, etc., of companies, compares these facts to those of other companies in the same industry, and estimates a company's future performance. She educates clients on the whole realm of investments; hence, she must be fully informed about world and local political affairs as they relate to the financial world, and she must be able to present facts on more than 40 investment vehicles. Tax investment planning including real estate and oil and gas limited partnerships and estate planning can play an important role in her job. Basically, an analyst is an idea giver, fitting a client's needs and goals to particular investment vehicles, whether the client is an individual investor or a bank, a labor union, a teachers' pension fund, or a government agency. What makes a good investment analyst?
