Mathematical Statistics II

Hypothesis testing, likelihood ratio tests, nonparametric tests, bivariate and multivariate normal distributions

Introduction to Number Theory

Primes and unique factorization, congruences, Chinese remainder theorem, Diophantine equations, Diophantine approximations, quadratic reciprocity. Applications such as fast multiplication, factorization and encryption.

Abstract Algebra II

Continuation of Abstract Algebra I, with emphasis on Galois theory, modules, polynomial fields, and the theory of linear associative algebra.

Abstract Algebra I

This course develops in the theme of "Arithmetic congruence, and abstract algebraic structures." There will be a very strong emphasis on theory and proofs.

Combinatorial Analysis

Combinatorial problem-solving techniques including the use of generating functions, recurrence relations, Polya theory, combinatorial designs, Ramsey theory, matroids, and asymptotic analysis.

Introduction to Probability and Statistics

This course is a problem oriented introduction to the basic concepts of probability and statistics, providing a foundation for applications and further study.

MATH 3215, MATH 3235, and MATH 3670 are mutually exclusive; students may not hold credit for more than one of these courses. 

Applied Combinatorics

Elementary combinatorial techniques used in discrete problem solving: counting methods, solving linear recurrences, graph and network models, related algorithms, and combinatorial designs.

Senior Project II

The second of a two course sequence of faculty-directed independent research culminating in the writing of a senior thesis and its presentation.

Senior Project I

The first of a two course sequence of faculty-directed independent research culminating in the writing of a senior thesis and its presentation.

Calculus of Variations

Minimization of functionals, Euler Lagrange equations, sufficient conditions for a minimum, geodesic, isoperimetric and time of transit problems, variational principles of mechanics, applications to control theory.
