\n Linear algebra is one of the pillars of mathematics, both pure and applied. Linear relations can be used to model phenomena from numerous disciplines in the mathematical sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, and computer science. This introduction to linear algebra blends mathematical computation, theory, abstraction, and application. It starts with systems of linear equations and grows into the study of matrices, vector spaces, linear independence, dimension, linear transformations, orthogonality and projections, eigenvectors, and their applications. The resulting linear algebraic framework is a flexible and powerful way to approach multidimensional problems. Prerequisite(s): MATH 279\u00a0or MATH 137\u00a0or STAT 155.\n <\/p>\n

\n A survey of differential equations as a tool for the study of smoothly varying quantities, with applications ranging from the physical sciences (e.g. radioactive decay and mechanics) to human behavior (e.g. economics and linguistics). We introduce famous scalar and vector differential equations as modeling tools. We cover standard analytical, computational, and qualitative methods for studying differential equations. Further topics can include the Laplace transform, an introduction to partial differential equations, dynamical systems, specialized applications, or rigorous existence and uniqueness theorems.

\n Graphs are mathematical structures which represent the relationships between objects in a set. Graph Theory falls under the umbrella of discrete mathematics and borrows methods from several areas of study to explore properties like the overall strength and complexity of the graph. Topics in this course include connectivity, graph coloring, trees, graph algorithms, and network flows. This course also discusses how these topics relate to graphs found in applications, such as social networks and the internet. Prerequisite(s): MATH 279\n <\/p>\n

\n Partial differential equations are powerful tools for modeling and simulation, with wide use in science and engineering. This course introduces some famous and well-understood equations (e.g. for modeling heat flow, waves, advection, and gravitation) and covers strategies for solving them on paper and by machine; applications in one, two and three space dimensions are covered. Nonlinear equations are introduced more briefly. Capstone projects allow students to apply or extend their knowledge to a problem of their choice. Prerequisite(s): MATH 312\n <\/p>\n

\n Discrete optimization applies techniques from combinatorics and graph theory, along with algorithmic thinking, to find the best solution to problems with finite structures. This course introduces the integer program as a powerful tool to solve these problems before diving into more specialized methods for canonical problems, including maximizing flow in a network, finding shortest paths, and creating optimal schedules. Spanning both theory and applied, this course develops both proofs of correctness for these solutions and methods of implementation with code. Students will apply or extend their knowledge of the area with a capstone project on the problem of their choice. Prerequisite(s): Math 236, Comp 123 (or above), and one of the following: Math 375 or Math 379, or permission of the instructor.\n <\/p>\n

Linear relations can be used to model phenomena from numerous disciplines in the mathematical sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, and computer science. This introduction to linear algebra blends mathematical computation, theory, abstraction, and application. It starts with systems of linear equations and grows into the study of matrices, vector spaces, linear independence, dimension, linear transformations, orthogonality and projections, eigenvectors, and their applications. The resulting linear algebraic framework is a flexible and powerful way to approach multidimensional problems. Prerequisite(s): MATH 279\u00a0or MATH 137\u00a0or STAT 155.\n <\/p>\n

Models include finite automata, regular expressions, grammars, and Turing machines. The course also discusses ideas about what can and cannot be computed. In addition, the course explores the basics of complexity theory, examining broad categories of problems and their algorithms, and their efficiency. The focus is on the question of P versus NP, and the NP-complete set. Prerequisite(s): (COMP 128\u00a0or\u00a0COMP 221) and MATH 279, or permission of instructor.\n <\/p>\n

\n A mix of applied\u00a0linear\u00a0algebra and numerical analysis, this course covers a central point of contact between mathematics and computer science. Many of the computational techniques important in science, commerce, and statistics are based on concepts from\u00a0linear\u00a0algebra, such as subspaces, projections, and matrix decompositions. The course reviews these concepts, adopts them to large scales, and applies them in the core techniques of scientific computing. These include solving systems of\u00a0linear\u00a0and nonlinear equations, approximation and statistical function estimation, optimization, interpolation, eigenvalue and singular value decompositions, and compression.

\n A mix of applied\u00a0linear\u00a0algebra and numerical analysis, this course covers a central point of contact between mathematics and computer science. Many of the computational techniques important in science, commerce, and statistics are based on concepts from\u00a0linear\u00a0algebra, such as subspaces, projections, and matrix decompositions. The course reviews these concepts, adopts them to large scales, and applies them in the core techniques of scientific computing. These include solving systems of\u00a0linear\u00a0and nonlinear equations, approximation and statistical function estimation, optimization, interpolation, eigenvalue and singular value decompositions, and compression. Applications throughout the natural sciences, social sciences, statistics, and computer science Prerequisite(s): MATH 236; one of:MATH 135\u00a0or MATH 137\u00a0or MATH 237\u00a0; one of:\u00a0COMP 120\u00a0or COMP 123\u00a0or\u00a0COMP 127\u00a0or\u00a0COMP 128; or permission of instructor.\n <\/p>\n

\n A course in the study of functions of complex numbers, a topic which touches fields as varied as number theory, applied mathematics, physics, engineering, algebraic geometry, and more. We cover: geometry and algebra of complex numbers\u037e complex functions\u037e differentiation and integration, including the Cauchy\u00adRiemann equations, Cauchy's theorem, and the Cauchy integral formula\u037e Taylor series, Laurent series, and the Residue Theorem. Throughout, we emphasize complex functions as transformations of the plane, and also make a strong connection to applications. This course is appropriate both for students with an interest and background in theoretical mathematics and proof, and students whose primary interest is the application of mathematics to other fields. Prerequisite(s): MATH 236\u00a0and\u00a0MATH 237.\n <\/p>\n

\n Number Theory is one of the oldest branches in mathematics, exploring the natural numbers and their properties. In this class, we will explore topics such as divisibility, quadratic reciprocity, Diophantine equations, continued fractions, and the distribution of prime numbers. We will study the natural numbers from both an algebraic and analytic viewpoint, borrowing proof techniques and ideas from many different areas of math. This class will be heavily proof based, but the only mathematical prerequisites are Math 237 and Math 279.\n <\/p>\n

\n A course in both theoretical and computational mathematics. Theoretical concepts include fundamental ideas from point set topology---continuity, convergence, and connectedness---as well as selected topics from algebraic topology---the fundamental group, elementary homotopy theory, and homology. This theoretical framework provides a backbone to understand new advances in topological data analysis. Applications are chosen from diverse fields such as biological aggregations, medicine, image processing, signal processing, and sensor networks. This course counts towards the capstone requirement.
