Adverb Clauses

This is an open course in adverb clauses of English grammar. It starts with a lesson on the basics of adverbs and then moves to a lesson on the basics of clauses. Then we put those things together and learn about adverb clauses. Finally, we learn how to reduce an adverb clause to make an adverb phrase. If you already understand adverbs and clauses, you can skip those topics, but they also may be useful to review before starting the more difficult material. Each lesson has a short video lecture from a teacher and several practice exercises.

Ancient Greek Philosophy and Mathematics

This course explores the relationship between ancient Greek philosophy and mathematics. We investigate how ideas of definition, reason, argument and proof, rationality / irrationality, number, quality and quantity, truth, and even the idea of an idea were shaped by the interplay of philosophic and mathematical inquiry. The course examines how discovery of the incommensurability of magnitudes challenged the Greek presumption that the cosmos is fully understandable. Students explore the influence of mathematics on ancient Greek ethical theories. We read such authors as: Euclid, Plato, Aristotle, Nicomachus, Theon of Smyrna, Bacon, Descartes, Dedekind, and Newton.
