Currently Teaching
MATH-219
Multivariable Calculus
3 Credits
This course is principally a study of the calculus of functions of two or more variables, but also includes the study of vectors, vector-valued functions and their derivatives. The course covers limits, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and includes applications in physics. Credit cannot be granted for both this course and MATH-221.
MATH-412
Numerical Linear Algebra
3 Credits
This course covers numerical techniques for the solution of systems of linear equations, eigenvalue problems, singular values and other decompositions, applications to least squares, boundary value problems, and additional topics at the discretion of the instructor.
MATH-421
Mathematical Modeling
3 Credits
This course explores problem solving, formulation of the mathematical model from physical considerations, solution of the mathematical problem, testing the model and interpretation of results. Problems are selected from the physical sciences, engineering, and economics.
MATH-495
Undergraduate Research in Mathematical Sciences
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed project that could be considered original in nature. The level of work is appropriate for students in their final two years of undergraduate study.
MATH-498
Independent Study in Mathematical Sciences
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-guided investigation into appropriate topics that are not part of the curriculum.
MATH-790
Research & Thesis
0 - 9 Credits
Masters-level research by the candidate on an appropriate topic as arranged between the candidate and the research advisor.
