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, MATH 3670, and MATH 3740 are mutually exclusive; students may not hold credit for more than one of these courses. 

Elementary combinatorial techniques and proof methods used in discrete problem solving.

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

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

An introduction to the Ito stochastic calculus and stochastic differential equations through a development of continuous-time martingales and Markov processes. (2nd of two courses in sequence)

Applications of probabilistic techniques in discrete mathematics, including classical ideas using expectation and variance as well as modern tools, such as martingale and correlation inequalities.

Fundamental combinatorial structures including hypergraphs, transversal sets, colorings, Sperner families, intersecting families, packings and coverings, perfect graphs, and Ramsey theory. Algebraic and topological methods, applications.

Selection of topics vary with each offering.

Description, institutional features, and mathematical modeling of fixed income securities. Use of both deterministic and stochastic models. Crosslisted with ISYE 6769.

Continuous time Markov chains. Uniformization, transient and limiting behavior. Brownian motion and martingales. Optional sampling and convergence. Modeling of inventories, finance, flows in manufacturing and computer networks. (Also listed as ISyE 6762)
