An introduction to measure theory and Lebesgue integration with a focus on topics that tend to be of the most utility in science and engineering. 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 6337. Students should not be able to obtain credit for both MATH 6579 and MATH 6337.
Modern data science methods and the mathematical foundations: linear regression, classification and clustering, kernel methods, regression trees and ensemble methods, dimension reduction.
This course is a mathematical introduction to probability theory, covering random variables, moments, multivariate distributions, law of large numbers, central limit theorem, and large deviations.
MATH 3215, MATH 3235, and MATH 3670 are mutually exclusive; students may not hold credit for more than one of these courses.
Introduction to probability, probability distributions, point estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, linear regression and analysis of variance.
MATH 3215, MATH 3235, and MATH 3670 are mutually exclusive; students may not hold credit for more than one of these courses.
This course will cover important topics in linear algebra not usually discussed in a first-semester course, featuring a mixture of theory and applications.
Mathematical logic and proof, mathematical induction, counting methods, recurrence relations, algorithms and complexity, graph theory and graph algorithms.
An introduction to proofs in advanced mathematics, intended as a transition to upper division courses including MATH 4107, 4150 and 4317. Fundamentals of mathematical abstraction including sets, logic, equivalence relations, and functions. Thorough development of the basic proof techniques: direct, contrapositive, existence, contradiction, and induction. Introduction to proofs in analysis and algebra.
