Local Archaeology and Penn Undergraduates
Robert L. Schuyler, Associate Professor/Associate Curator
An introduction to the Museum's "South Jersey Project," which involves the exploration of 19th through 20th century archaeological sites in the local area. The project and class associated with it (Anthropology 219) is unique on campus in that it allows Penn undergraduates to participate in field excavations during the regular academic year. The results of six seasons (2001-2006) of fieldwork will be presented using slides and artifacts.

Musings about Mathematical Models and the Music Market
Peter Fader, Professor of Marketing
Professor Fader's research centers around building formal models of sales patterns and customer behavior in a number of different contexts. Recently, he has been focusing much of his efforts on the music industry. Not only has he constructed a variety of models in this area, but he has also been involved in controversial topics, such as the different roles (positive and negative) that file-sharing may play in influencing music purchasing. He will discuss some of his experiences in this area, including brief overviews of some of his published work and ongoing projects.

Quantum Computer and Information Science
Max Mintz, Professor of CIS
This lecture is an elementary overview of Quantum Computation (QC), an exciting subject which combines Quantum Physics with Computer and Information Science. I will: (i) present a very brief history of quantum mechanics; (ii) present a very brief tour of the elements of quantum mechanics which are relevant to QC; and (iii) outline what QC is, and explain why it is intrinsically different from classical computation.
