Fundamentals, connectivity, matchings, colorings, extremal problems, Ramsey theory, planar graphs, perfect graphs. Applications to operations research and the design of efficient algorithms.
Geometry, convergence, and structure of linear operators in infinite dimensional spaces. Applications to science and engineering, including integral equations and ordinary and partial differential equations.
The three course series MATH 6579, 6580, and 6221 is designed to provide a high level mathematical background for engineers and scientists.
This course is equivalent to MATH 6338. Students should not be able to obtain credit for both MATH 6580 and MATH 6338.
Mathematical methods for solving problems in the life sciences. Models-based course on basic facts from the theory of ordinary differential equations and numerical methods of their solution. Introduction to the control theory, diffusion theory, maximization, minimization and curve fitting.
This is the second of a two-semester sequence that develops basic probability concepts and models for working with financial markets and derivative securities. Continuous-time parameter stochastic processes are emphasized in this course. Mathematical concepts are introduced as needed.
Functions, the derivative, applications of the derivative, techniques of differentiation, integration, applications of integration to probability and statistics, multidimensional calculus.
Methods for obtaining numerical and analytic solutions of elementary differential equations. Applications are also discussed with an emphasis on modeling.
Linear approximation and Taylor’s theorems, Lagrange multiples and constrained optimization, multiple integration and vector analysis including the theorems of Green, Gauss, and Stokes.
An introduction to multivariable calculus through vectors in 3D, curves, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, min/max problems, multiple integration. Vector Calculus not covered.
