This command is currently facilitated by 2 classes in `Model`, `CourseRequirement` and +`RequirementStatus`: + +===== `CourseRequirement` Interface +As there are many different kinds of course requirements that can be found in NUS, it is difficult to iron down the common characteristic +they all share. This can be seen in the examples found below: + + +.Computer Systems Team Project Requirement +image::nus_requirement.PNG[width ="400"] + +.Focus Area Requirement +image::nus_requirement2.PNG[width="400"] + +For the requirement shown in Figure 9, students just have to complete at least one of CS3203 or +CS3216 and CS3217 or CS3281 and CS3282. Whereas for the requirement in Figure 10, students have to fulfill +all of the conditions stated above. Even though these two conditions might seem quite different, +we are still able to draw some key observations about what they have in common: + +. Each requirement is composed of conjunction or disjunction of clauses. In turn, the clauses can +be composed by conjunction and disjunction of other simpler clauses. +. Clauses that cannot be further broken down into smaller clauses usually contain the following information: +.. a list of modules that can be used to satisfy the clause +.. how many of the modules should be completed to satisfy the clause. + +These observations gives us some insight as to how we should design the interface. As such, the `CourseRequirement` interface follows a `Composite` design pattern. This is favoured as it allows +us to treat individual and composition of `CourseRequirement` objects uniformly through the use of polymorphism. The diagram below gives an overview of +how `CourseRequirement` is implemented. + +.`CourseRequirement` class diagram +image::CompositeDesignPattern.png[width="400"] + +This interface is realised by 2 subclasses - `PrimitiveRequirement` and `CompositeRequirement`. +The `PrimitiveRequirement` is the simplest building block for `CourseRequirement`. Each `PrimitiveRequirement` stores a +list of `Condition` objects. A `Condition` object stores a `Java` `Pattern` and an `int`, `minToSatisfy`. A `Condition` +is satisfied if there are at least `minToSatisfy` many distinct +`ModuleInfoCode` that matches `Pattern` in it. `PrimitiveRequirement` is satisfied only if all `Condition` objects in the list are +fulfilled. + +For instance in Figure 9, a suitable `Condition` for completing CS3216 and CS3217 would be +a `Pattern` that accepts only CS3216 or CS3217, and a `minToSatisfy` of 2. + + + +The `CompositeRequirement` can replicate the behaviour of more complex course requirements. Each `CompositeRequirement` +object contains two `CourseRequirement` objects. It also contains a `LogicalConnector` enumeration +that tells the `CompositeRequirement` how two different `CourseRequirement` are composed using logical operations. For instance, for +a list of `ModuleInfoCode` to satisfy a `CompositeRequirement` that has a `AND` `LogicalConnector`, the list must +satisfy the both `CourseRequirement` objects contained in `CompositeRequirement`. + +There currently 3 methods that `CourseRequirement` provides information to the student: + +* `isFulfilled()` -- a method that accepts a list of `ModuleInfoCode` and returns a `boolean` to indicate whether the list of +`ModuleInfoCode` can satisfy the all the `CourseRequirement` + +** In `PrimitiveRequirement`, this is achieved by checking whether all the `ModuleInfoCode` satisfies all the +`Condition` stored in it. + +** In `CompositeRequirement`, this is dependent on the `LogicalConnector` it has. It would return the value of +first `CourseRequirement#isFulfilled` `LogicalConnector` second `CourseRequirement#isFulfilled`. + +* `percentageFulfilled()` -- a method that also accepts a list of ModuleInfoCode returns a `double` value that represents the +percentage of completion of the `CourseRequirement` +** In `PrimitiveRequirement`, this is achieved by calculating the number of distinct modules that satisfy for each `Condition`, +in `PrimitiveRequirement` and it is divided by the sum of `minToSatisfy`. +** This depends on the `LogicalConnector` in `CompositeRequirement`. If it is a `OR` connector, we return the maximum +of `first#percentageFulfilled` or `second#percentageFulfilled`. The `AND` logical connector returns the average of the degree of completion for both requirements. +* `getUnfulfilled()` -- a method that accepts a list of `ModuleInfoCode` and returns a list of RegExes from where none of the +`ModuleInfoCode` matches. This method is used in the module recommendation feature. + +===== `RequirementStatus` Class +The `RequirementStatus` is an association class that links a `CourseRequirement` with `VersionedGradTrak` in `Model`. +This can be seen in the class diagram below: + +.`RequirementStatus` class diagram +image::RequirementStatusClassDiagram.png[width="400"] + + +It also stores the result of the associated `CourseRequirement` object's `isFulfilled` and `percentageFulfilled` +methods acting on the list of `ModuleInfoCode`. + + +Below is a sequence of execution when `displayreq` command is executed by the student: + +1. `Model#updateRequirementStatusList` is called.

../stylesheets + +== PROJECT: GradTrak - A Graduation Tracker for NUS Students + +--- + +== Overview +GradTrak is an application that was created to aid students with their graduation requirements. NUS has multiple requirements +before its students can file for graduation and checking if all of the requirements have been met is a hassle for most +students. + + +Initially we were given a base code https://github.com/nus-cs2103-AY1819S2/addressbook-level4[Address Book - Level 4] which +we had the choice of either morphing into something entirely different or enhance the current code. My team and I decided to +challenge ourselves and morph it into https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main[GradTrak]. + + +My team and I had to complete the application within 6 weeks. The final products came out as intended with minor hiccups +or problems. + +== Summary of Contribution +* *Major Feature*: Added a search functionality that allows students to see all available NUS modules locally. +** What it does: Users are able to search locally(without internet) all modules that are currently available in NUS. Users +are allowed to search for modules that they interested in by the module's code or even by searching for keywords found in the +module's name. Based on their search, a list of module/s will be presented to them. The information for each module also +contains a prerequisite tree and a workload table so that students can also plan their modules semester by semester. + +** Why this feature: Knowing what modules are available is integral to graduate on time, instead of searching through the +internet on what modules are available, bringing this feature to the user/students computer locally will greatly +improve the efficiency at which students are able to plan and track their graduation. + +** Highlights: There are thousands of modules that need to be loaded during launch of the application and all of these +information is stored in a JSON file `allModules.json` which was obtained from http://awards.nusmods.com/2018-2019/moduleInformation.json[moduleinformation]. +Further more a significant number of modules have a prerequisite tree which is crucial for students to see if they are +eligible to read a particular module and this prerequisite tree was custom made as we could not find another data structure +that fit the prerequisite tree. + +* *Minor Enhancement*: Designed and implemented a data structure called `ModuleTree` which helps to display and check prerequisites, + implemented a one-way read-only storage class to read the `allModules.json` file. + +* *Code Contributed* : [https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/tree/master/src/main/java/seedu/address/model/moduleinfo[functional code]] [https://github.com[Test code]] + +* *Code Contributions on Dashboard* : https://nus-cs2103-ay1819s2.github.io/cs2103-dashboard/#=undefined&search=anand270294[Contributions] + +* *Other Contributions*: +** Project Management: +*** Set up Issue Tracker +*** Managed deadlines for team + +** Refactored Code +*** Refactored the storage class to read-only json files. + +** Documentation: +*** Did the README.adoc file and the initial UI mockUp +*** Modified sections of the UG and DG to match the application GradTrak. + +** UI: +*** Implemented a `panelhandler` so the panel changes with accordance to the command typed in.[https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pull/78[PR here]] + +** https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+author%3AAnand270294+[Pull Request Made for this project] + +== Contributions to the User Guide + +|=== +|_Given below are sections I contributed to the User Guide which will show my ability to write to end-users who have no prior knowledge +on programming.

This allows users to plan their modules systematically so that they are on the right track towards graduation. +** _Highlights:_ The implementation of this feature was challenging as it requires interactions with many components of GradTrak. It needs to retrieve information of all NUS modules, +check each module for its preclusions or prerequisites in the user's module list, and determine whether it contributes to the user's course requirements and if so, the requirement type of highest priority that it satisfies. +In particular, it was necessary to liaise with the implementation of the graduation-checking feature to ensure that the recommended modules actually bring the user closer to graduation. + + +* *Minor enhancement*: added additional parameters for the module finding feature, allowing the user to search GradTrak modules by +module code, semester, grade or finished status. + +* *Code contributed*: [https://nus-cs2103-ay1819s2.github.io/cs2103-dashboard/#=undefined&search=lshwayne96[Project Code Dashboard]] + +* *Other contributions*: +** Project management: +*** Managed release `v1.3` on Github (https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/releases[releases]) +*** Added user stories on Github (https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/issues/67[example]) +** Documentation: +*** Helped to proofread and polish the language of the User Guide and Developer Guide +*** Edited some old diagrams from AddressBook for the purpose of GradTrak (https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pull/80[#80]) +** Community: +*** Helped with my teammates' features (checking of prerequisites and graduation requirements) which are closely related to mine (https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pull/91/files[#91], https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pull/100[#100], https://github.com/cs2103-ay1819s2-w14-4/main/pull/172[#172]) +*** Reported bugs and suggested improvements for other teams in the class (e.g. https://github.com/CS2103-AY1819S2-T12-2/main/issues/64[1], https://github.com/CS2103-AY1819S2-T12-2/main/issues/68[2], https://github.com/CS2103-AY1819S2-T12-2/main/issues/71[3]) + +== Contributions to the User Guide + +|=== +|_Given below are sections I contributed to the User Guide.

The emphasis of innovation is made explicit in the course title. This course focuses on two primary objectives. First to understand how one can enhance and increase innovativeness in any context. Innovation means that a new product, a new service or a new process is developed and pushed into the market. The range, scope, and complexity of the issues related to the creating and implementing something new is discussed. At the end of the course, the students will have learnt how to innovate. The second objective of this course is to provide students with an opportunity for “hands-on” knowledge on starting an entrepreneurial firm. This objective will be accomplished by developing new ideas and asking the question on how one can implement them in the market and by doing hands-on interviews with entrepreneurs who have gone through the experience of founding a new venture. The course utilizes class discussions of weekly assignments, brief lectures and case discussion. The course is based on an evidence-based management perspective in which there is careful discussion of what is known, what is conjecture, what is (useful) gut feeling and where does new knowledge come from and how it can be used. Discussion of assigned readings and cases and the completion of a field project are integral to meeting the course objectives.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-0-7","History":[{"Semester":1,"LecturePeriods":["Saturday Morning"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"BMA5405","ModuleTitle":"Managing Change","Department":"Dean's Office (Biz)","ModuleCredit":"4","History":[{"Semester":1,"LecturePeriods":["Tuesday Evening"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"BMA5406","ModuleTitle":"Negotiations and Conflict Management","Department":"Dean's Office (Biz)","ModuleDescription":"The course objectives are: 1.

In Channel Management, not much attention is usually paid to understanding marketing channels in detail. In fact people used to call channels the `dark continent? of marketing, that is best left to `truckers?. But, is this true? One can make at least four observations: long term commitment of channel related decisions, existence of channel `power play,? market dynamics caused by channel changes, and the impact of internet on channel intermediaries. All these issues are very difficult to comprehend and solve if we do not understand `what channels are for?? Channel management is not just managing the retailers and the trucks and delivery personnel, but it is much larger than that. In Pricing, the one element of marketing strategy that is least understood and hence constantly feared by many managers is pricing. This is because pricing is a very complex issue. On one hand, it is supposed to reflect all the strategic steps the company has taken to bring the product to the consumer and convince him/her to buy it as well. On the other hand, it is supposed to reflect what the consumer would get out of the product by paying that price to acquire it. Will there be a match between the two? Perhaps and perhaps not. This dilemma makes it imperative for a manager needs to understand and analyze various factors in arriving at an appropriate pricing strategy. And, pricing does not operate in vacuum. It has to be married with other elements of the marketing strategy, including the channel management we discuss in this course. Thus, understanding the broader picture of the various elements of pricing, and building a scientific framework on pricing will always be reliable and better in the long run.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-0-7","History":[{"Semester":2,"LecturePeriods":["Friday Evening"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"BMA5511A","ModuleTitle":"Special Topics in Channels & Pricing Strategy","Department":"Dean's Office (Biz)","ModuleDescription":"This is a course meant for two important marketing mix variables, Channel Management and Pricing.

After that, it covers choice over time, i.e. inter-temporal choice and choices over different states of the world, i.e. choices under uncertainty. It then continues with game theory. This topic will be discussed extensively. Coverage will include various solution concepts for one-shot games and sequential move games. Applications of the theory on the issues of oligopolistic competition, entry and entry prevention, and network economics will receive a great deal of attention. Finally, the module ends with the asymmetric information, i.e. moral hazard and adverse selection and its application on the internal organisation of the firm. Throughout the course, empirical observations and real-life cases pertaining to the issues discussed in this module are presented.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-2-5","Prerequisite":"EC2101 AND (EC2104 OR ANY MA MODULE THAT IS NOT MA1301/MA1301FC/MA1301X OR MA1311 OR MA1312 OR MA1421)","Types":["UEM"],"History":[{"Semester":1,"ExamDate":"2018-11-29T17:00+0800","LecturePeriods":["Wednesday Afternoon"],"TutorialPeriods":["Monday Afternoon","Tuesday Afternoon","Wednesday Afternoon","Thursday Morning","Friday Morning","Friday Afternoon"]},{"Semester":2,"ExamDate":"2019-05-03T14:30+0800","LecturePeriods":["Friday Morning"],"TutorialPeriods":["Monday Morning","Monday Afternoon","Tuesday Morning","Tuesday Afternoon","Wednesday Morning","Wednesday Afternoon","Friday Afternoon"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"EC3102","ModuleTitle":"Macroeconomic Analysis II","Department":"Economics","ModuleDescription":"This course follows up on Macroeconomics I (EC2102).

The module targets students with interests in critical questions.","ModuleCredit":"5","Workload":"0-3-0-0-9.5","Prerequisite":"Completed 80 MCs including 28 MCs in EN, with a minimum CAP of 3.20 or be on the Honours track.","Types":["Module"],"History":[{"Semester":1,"ExamDate":"2018-11-26T09:00+0800","LecturePeriods":["Wednesday Morning"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"EN4251","ModuleTitle":"Jonathan Swift","Department":"English Language & Literature","ModuleDescription":"This module focuses on the work of one of most celebrated Anglo-Irish writers of the eighteenth century: Jonathan Swift.

These developments suggest that canonical modernisms of the early twentieth-century prescribed, and so constrained, critical approaches to literatures of the postcolony.

A class exercise will be conducted where students are asked to generate sequences of real and fake random coin tosses and are asked to develop tests to detect the difference. 2. What is the role of randomization in the design of scientific experiments (for instance, why are patients randomly assigned to treatments in a medical trial)? We recreate a famous incident in which a tea time conversation led to a statistician conducting an experiment to test whether someone could distinguish whether milk had been added first or last to a cup of tea. 3. How has statistical thinking been used and abused in the history of IQ testing? 4. In the analysis of environmental problems like global warming scientific models are often used which are deterministic (roughly speaking, such models predict a definite output for a given input). A statistical model on the other hand gives predictions in the form of probabilities of different possible outcomes. How can the deep physical understanding embedded in the deterministic models be reconciled with statistical approaches to quantifying uncertainty and risk, and why is quantifying uncertainty important? 5. How can fake random numbers generated on a computer by non-random rules sometimes do complicated calculations that aren’t easily done by other means? 6.

Structures and electronic and magnetic structures behave differently when their dimensions are reduced to the range of between one and a few hundred nanometres (1 nanometre = 10-9 metre). They exhibit novel and much-improved mechanical, electrical, optical, chemical and biological properties, due entirely to their nanoscopic size. The nanoworld is therefore an exciting new realm that brings together the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and engineering. To understand the nanoworld, we will introduce basic and advance spectroscopy and scattering synchrotron-based techniques such as x-ray absorption, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, resonant soft x-ray scattering, xray photoemission spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. We will also introduce scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The aim of this module is to familiarise students with the main issues and techniques relevant to the nanometre scale. Questions that will be addressed include: What is the significance of the nanoscale? What measurement techniques allow us to examine such systems? How can we fabricate objects and devices on the nanometre scale? What are the examples of fascinating nanosystems? How will nanodevices and nanomaterials change our lives in the future?

Almost all religions decree the magic power of pure water. To our experience, where there is water, there is life. Water is widely regarded as the “matrix of life”. Nevertheless, various scientific debates are associated with water. For example, unbelievably, in the 1980s French scientist Benveniste and his collaborators proposed the notion of the “memory of water”. On the other hand, proteins are the most important functional players for all forms of life. An increasing spectrum of human diseases more than neurodegenerative diseases is characterized by aggregation of specific proteins, while aggregation of non-specific proteins are associated with aging even down to Escherichia coli. In 2005, we discovered that these “aggregated/insoluble” proteins could marvellously be solubilized in pure water, which thus offers my group to tackle an emerging but challenging problem in biology: molecular mechanisms for neurodegenerative diseases and aging. In this module, we will explore how water shaped the emergence and evolution of life and how proteins get aggregated and subsequently gain toxicity to trigger diseases and aging. Most importantly, the students will have a full freedom to give their own opinions on these topics/debates.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-3-4","Preclusion":"Students who have read a Freshman Seminar before will be precluded from reading a second Freshman Seminar.

However, public understanding of Darwin and evolution remains a serious problem. What most people think they know about Darwin, his life and his famous book ‘On the origin of species’ is wrong. This module provides a solid background for understanding how the theory of evolution actually unfolded. It covers the history of geology, palaeontology and biology from the 1700s to the 20th century. The central focus is on the life and work of Charles Darwin and how biological evolution was uncovered, debated and accepted by the international scientific community in the 19th century, and beyond. There will be a lot of myth busting and this provides case studies on how to assess historical claims and evidence, and discussions on recent developments in evolutionary biology, human evolution and anthropology are included.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-2-5","Preclusion":"GEM1902B Junior Seminar: The Darwinian Revolution GET1020","Corequisite":"","Types":["GEM"],"History":[{"Semester":1,"ExamDate":"2018-11-26T17:00+0800","LecturePeriods":["Monday Afternoon","Friday Morning"]},{"Semester":2,"ExamDate":"2019-05-04T09:00+0800","LecturePeriods":["Monday Afternoon","Friday Afternoon"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"GEM1913","ModuleTitle":"Beasts, People and Wild Environments in South Asia","Department":"South Asian Studies Programme","ModuleDescription":"How do ideas about big beasts and the wild inform our socio-cultural worldview?

After its emergence as a sovereign state in 1965, Singapore continues to project itself as a 'global city-state'. Our local society has an 'international' make-up, being the product as it were of historical and current diasporic trends. This module provides an international framework for a study of the history of Singapore, and seeks to examine the historical evolution of Singapore against the contexts of regional and international changes and developments from the 14th to the 20th century.

Many people may consider them to be in different regimes and require different mindsets to work on. But as both disciplines advanced, it became increasingly clear that the interactions between them are far more pervasive and fundamental than one might expect. For example, the field of biophysics has risen since the 1950s, and it has vastly changed how biologists look at living systems or study biology. It proved that the mindsets of biology and physics can join together to provide deeper insight into the phenomenon we call life. We will base the material on the basic laws of physics, and discuss how they are interwined with all kinds of life science and daily life phenomena, from cells to ecosystems and from Earth to outer space.

The carriage of goods by sea forms an important component of a wider body of law which is called maritime (or shipping) law. The subject matter of this course also forms a part of the (private) law of international trade and will assist those students studying international sales of goods and bank payment mechanisms in international trade, and insurance and marine insurance. All these subjects are invaluable to anyone who aspires eventually to work in shipping or international trade, whether as a lawyer in a law firm, as a legal adviser in-house, in insurance in a P & I Club, or for a marine insurer. Carriage of Goods by Sea is a core area of shipping law. The principal purpose which underlines this course is the carriage of cargo from one destination to another for profit. The seller/owner of goods who wishes to export them will hire a ship (particularly in the case of bulk commodities, such as oil) or space on a ship, depending on the quantity and type of goods to be transported. This course is therefore concerned with examining the legal relationships which arise between the shipper (or owner of the goods), the carrier (the shipowner), the charterer, and the receiver/consignee of the goods. The particular emphasis will be the principal documents of carriage, such as bills of lading, sea waybills and ship’s delivery orders, and the domestic legislation which governs these documents and also gives effect to international conventions. The coverage of international conventions will include the Rotterdam Rules, even though these Rules are not yet in force. A study will also be made of charterparties, specifically, voyage charters and time charters.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"30-0-0-0-0","History":[{"Semester":2}]},{"ModuleCode":"LC5230","ModuleTitle":"Elements of Company Law","Department":"Dean's Office (Law)","ModuleDescription":"The company is one of the most important institutions in our society.

In the first part of the course, the student will be introduced to basic ideas in classical anthropology and the sociology of law. Questions such as - Are there any ‘universal’ patterns of human behaviour? To what extent is a society’s perception of law influenced or controlled by environmental and econological factors? How are disputes resolved? Is aggression and warfare inherent in the human condition? - will be dealt with. In the second part of the course, these anthropological methods will be applied to a study of the concept of law in diverse societies from a sociological perspective, and to the actual function of law in society. Do patterns of human behaviour discernable in primitive societies hold true in more complex ‘modern’ societies? What are the attributes of a ‘modern’ legal system? Is the concept of ‘law’ in the western sense inevitable and universal in all kinds of societies. What happens to the concept of law in plural societies?

This module draws on IR practice theory, international political sociology, feminist theory, emotions theory, and diplomatic history to examine how colonialism, class, ethnicity, gender, emotions, domestic politics, regime types (democracy/authoritarianisms) etc., shape Southeast Asian IR.","ModuleCredit":"5","Workload":"0-3-0-2-7.5","Prerequisite":"Completed 80MCs, including 28MCs in PS, with a minimum CAP of 3.20 or be on the Honours track.","Types":["Module"],"History":[{"Semester":2,"LecturePeriods":["Wednesday Evening"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"PS4311","ModuleTitle":"International Relations in Political Thought","Department":"Political Science","ModuleDescription":"This module explores topics of international relations as they are treated in classical political thought.

The new commitment of the co-habitation of nature and built environment has drawn attentions of the architects, urban designers and environmental professionals. The discourses of urban sustainability have to move away from social sufficiency, ecological efficiency to ecosystem compatibility by linking the forms and flows of urban, industrial and natural systems. The new challenges of urban ecological issue require design and environmental professionals to deal with how urban and environment spaces could be analyzed, designed, managed, evaluated, represented and changed for responding to the cutting-edge sustainable issues. Divided by two main categories, Spatial Typologies and Ecological Flows, the series of lecture covers the trends and issues of sustainable urban design and development. Following the introductory lecture based on planning and design history, the Part One Spatial Typologies includes global ecological effects of mega urban form, suburbanization and propositions of sustainable city, downtown urban design, waterfront revitalization and brown field redevelopment. The Part Two Ecological Flows covers the ecological design issues of landscape ecological flow, material and energy flow, water flow and informational flow. The sessions conclude with the discussion of representational dimension of urban and environmental design that is essential to the professional practices of ecologically sound urban and environmental design. By selecting one of the specific sustainable urban issues, students are required to work on a research project, which is to be presented as a team work during the semester and further developed as an individual term paper at the end of semester.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-4-3","Types":["Module"],"History":[{"Semester":2,"LecturePeriods":["Wednesday Morning"],"TutorialPeriods":["Wednesday Afternoon"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"UHB2207","ModuleTitle":"Language, Cognition, and Culture","Department":"University Scholars Programme","ModuleDescription":"This module explores the deep interconnections between language, cognition and culture.

Specifically, - The philosophical strand will expose students to some of the early conceptions of space, time and matter. Principally ideas of Descartes and Leibniz with emphasis on Kant’s concept of space and time. The mathematization of science in the 17th Century - from Descartes use of coordinate geometry to Galileo’s Principle of Inertia and the mathematics of motion will serve to showcase how the early concepts took shape. - The mathematical strand will serve to showcase how Euclid’s axiomatic approach to geometry formed the basis of subsequent generalizations that led to the characterization of space and time. Here students will be introduced to structures such as topological spaces, manifolds and Riemannian spaces that form the basis of the space-time fabric. - The physical strand will touch on the notion of physical symmetries and its relation to geometry. In particular, Galilean and Special relativity will serve to elucidate how the motion of particles in the space-time fabric reveals its geometrical structure. This will culminate in Einstein’s Equivalence Principle and its implications leading up to the General theory of Relativity. The aim here is to provide a coherent exposition of how the three disciplines come together in providing insights into the nature of space, time and matter. The questions raised will force students to examine and reflect on the extent to which our commonsensical views of the physical space accurately describes the way nature really is, and to what degree this view is tenable on the basis of detailed quantitative reasons and empirical evidence. Hopefully, through this analysis, students will appreciate the subtle interplay between the realm of ideas and mental constructs and that of experiments and scientific facts.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-4-0-2-4","Types":["Module"],"History":[{"Semester":1,"LecturePeriods":["Monday Afternoon","Wednesday Afternoon","Thursday Afternoon"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"UNL2206","ModuleTitle":"Nature's Threads","Department":"University Scholars Programme","ModuleDescription":"This module seeks to explore the importance of various key ideas in the history of physics by considering a selection of examples each semester as a means of examining the whys and hows of certain scientific revolutions.

Defined by language, culture, history, government, military power, and clear boundaries, a nation organizes how citizens run their lives and their businesses. More recently, the dominance of nations has been challenged – sometimes subtly, sometimes aggressively – by multinational companies, which can seem to exist above governments’ sway. The world of today – and of tomorrow – is caught in the intersection of these two forces. This course will look at this conflict from a variety of perspectives, utilizing insights from history, business, and other disciplines to explore phenomena and case studies.","ModuleCredit":"5","Workload":"0-3-0-2.5-7","Prerequisite":"None","Preclusion":"None","Corequisite":"None","History":[{"Semester":2,"LecturePeriods":["Friday Afternoon"]}]},{"ModuleCode":"YSS3289","ModuleTitle":"International Organisations in World Politics","Department":"Yale-NUS College","ModuleDescription":"International relations scholars have traditionally studied the interactions between sovereign states interacting within an anarchic international system.
