How firms find and hold a market: segmentation, pricing, branding, channels, and the measurement of whether any of it moved anything.
Identifying molecules by ionizing them and sorting the fragments by mass-to-charge ratio.
How the structure of a material determines its properties, and how to design one that does what is needed. Metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors and composites.
The rigorous study of limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration, including real and complex analysis.
The mathematics that physical theories are built from, and the rigorous treatment of the problems they pose.
The study of quantity, structure, space, and change, developed through definitions, theorems, and proof.
How mathematics is learned and where it goes wrong: the misconceptions that survive teaching, proof and problem solving in a classroom, and what to do about them.
How to assign a size to a set, and the theory of integration built on that. The foundation probability stands on.
Machines and the forces in them: mechanisms, engines, heat and the analysis of what breaks.
Where mechanism, electronics and control meet: actuators, sensors and embedded systems designed as one thing rather than three.
Media as a social institution: how messages are produced and circulated, who owns the channels, and what audiences do with what they receive.
Health, illness and healing across cultures: what different societies count as sickness, and how they explain and treat it.
Seeing inside a living body: X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and nuclear medicine, and the reading of what comes out.
Physics applied to diagnosis and treatment: imaging, radiation therapy, dosimetry and the safety limits around them.
Health, illness and medicine as social phenomena: who gets sick and why, how the profession is organised, and what counts as a disease.
Designing and synthesizing molecules intended to act as drugs, and working out how structure controls what they do in the body.
The science of health and disease in humans: how the body fails, how to recognise it, how to treat it, and how to keep populations well.
The centuries between antiquity and the early modern world, roughly the fifth to the fifteenth.
What moral claims are: whether they can be true, what would make them true, and how we could know.
What there is and what it is like: existence, objects and their properties, cause, time, possibility and necessity.
