Classical introduction to probability theory including expectation, notions of convergence, laws of large numbers, independence, large deviations, conditional expectation, martingales, and Markov chains.
The three course series MATH 6579, 6580, and 6221 is designed to provide a high level mathematical background for engineers and scientists.
Note that MATH 6221 is not equivalent to MATH 6421, and does not provide any credit towards completion of that course.
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.
