Here is an informative TV production called:
"Thinking Allowed". It presents:
The Sanskrit Tradition: An Interview with Dr.
Dean Brown, Prof. of Physics, U. of Hawaii, Manoa.
It brings forward the interesting Eastern/Western
views of Professor Dean Brown, an eminent Theoretical Physicist (and
Sanskrit Scholar, who has recently translated the Upanishads). The
interview is really illuminating and connects two seemingly unrelated
aspects of humanity - Sanskrit and Physics. Dr. Brown expresses that
Sanskrit in fact is the mother of all European languages and the roots
of many English words can be traced to Samskritam.

Sanskrit Course Descriptions:
383.111 Beginning Sanskrit
This course has been designed for students with no knowledge of the
Sanskrit language. Emphasis will be placed on the basic listening,
reading, and writing of the language. The reading and writing system will
be introduced in a very systematic manner, thereby, students will not have
to learn all the vowels and the consonants at once before getting to read
the words. Basic sentences will be drawn from the Sanskrit Literature.
Simple Vedic Mantras from the Vedas and Ishopanishad, verses from the
Bhagavad Gita and the sootras from the Yoga Sookas will be read. 3 credits.
