  • MATH 102 SC - Differential Equations and Modeling

    In this course we will introduce some basic models including Lotka-Volterra (Predator-Prey) models, as well as some standard modeling techniques. The emphasis in the course will be placed on qualitative methods and the use of software to understand solutions. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors will be introduced to fully solve linear systems in the plane. Linear and non-linear systems of differential equations will be analyzed by classifying orbits near fixed-point solutions. Students may not receive credit for both MATH 102 and MATH 111 .

  • MATH 131 SC - Principles of Real Analysis I

    This course is the first half of a rigorous discussion of the main concepts (convergence, continuity, differentiation, and integration) of analysis. It begins with basic topology (openness, compactness, completeness, etc.) in metric spaces and a precise treatment of numerical sequences and series and closes with uniform convergence and the great theorems of Ascoli-Arzelà and Stone-Weierstrass.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 032 , MATH 060 . Recommended: MATH 101 .

  • MATH 133 SC - Measure Theory

    The Riemann integral taught so blithely in calculus was actually superseded more than a century ago. We will introduce the theory of the Lebesgue integral, beginning with basic set theory and topology, covering Lebesgue measure and measurable functions, and finishing with the classical inequalities and Banach spaces used in an analyst’s daily life.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 060 . Strongly recommended: a proof-based course (MATH 101 , MATH 131 , etc.).

  • MATH 135 SC - Complex Analysis

    The beautiful and elegant theorems which are encountered in complex analysis form a cornerstone of mathematics. In this course we will apply familiar concepts such as line integrals and differentiability to complex-valued functions. We will investigate the Cauchy- Riemann equations, and study holomorphic and meromorphic functions via Taylor and Laurent series. Cauchy’s theorem and integral formula along with the calculus of residues will be featured. We will also introduce conformal mappings and harmonic functions.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 060 . MATH 101  or MATH 131  are recommended.

  • MATH 139 SC - Fourier Analysis

    Fourier analysis begins with the examination of the difficulties involved in attempting to reconstruct arbitrary functions as infinite combinations of elementary trigonometric functions. Topics in this course will include Fourier series, summability, types and questions of convergence, and the Fourier transform (with, if time permits, applications to PDEs, medical imaging, linguistics, and number theory).

  • MATH 171 SC - Abstract Algebra I

    We study some basic structures that appear throughout mathematics including groups, rings, and fields. Topics in group theory will include isomorphism theorems, orbits and stabilizers, and coset partitions. Topics in ring theory will include ideals, quotient rings, and prime and maximal ideals. Ring and field extensions will also be introduced.

  • MATH 175 SC - Number Theory

    Number Theory is often considered one of the most beautiful and elegant topics in mathematics. We will study properties concerning the integers, such as divisibility, congruences, and prime numbers. More advanced topics include encryption, quadratic reciprocity, and diophantine approximation. Finally, we will introduce elliptic curves and see how these curves relate to the proof of Fermat’s last theorem.
