Basic properties of the positive integers including congruence arithmetic, the theory of prime numbers, quadratic reciprocity, and continued fractions. Theory applied to develop algorithms and computational techniques of computer science and to cryptography. To help learn these materials, students will be assigned computational projects using computer algebra software. Prerequisite: MATH 233 and 235. Math 300 or COMPSCI 250 as a co-requisite is not absolutely necessary but highly recommended.

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. Develops research and writing skills in mathematics through peer review and revision. Students write on mathematical subject areas, prominent mathematicians, and famous mathematical problems. Prerequisites: MATH 300 and completion of College Writing (CW) requirement.

This is an introduction to the history of mathematics from ancient civilizations to present day. Students will study major mathematical discoveries in their cultural, historical, and scientific contexts. This course explores how the study of mathematics evolved through time, and the ways of thinking of mathematicians of different eras - their breakthroughs and failures. Students will have an opportunity to integrate their knowledge of mathematical theories with material covered in General Education courses.

We learn how to build, use, and critique mathematical models. In modeling we translate scientific questions into mathematical language, and thereby we aim to explain the scientific phenomena under investigation. Models can be simple or very complex, easy to understand or extremely difficult to analyze. We introduce some classic models from different branches of science that serve as prototypes for all models. Student groups will be formed to investigate a modeling problem themselves and each group will report its findings to the class in a final presentation.

Calculus of several variables, Jacobians, implicit functions, inverse functions; multiple integrals, line and surface integrals, divergence theorem, Stokes' theorem.

The definite integral, techniques of integration, and applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Sequences, series, and power series. Taylor and MacLaurin series. Prerequisite: MATH 131 or equivalent. Honors section available. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Basic concepts of linear algebra. Matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, and eigenvalues. Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 132, or 136, or consent of instructor. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Topology of the euclidean space and functions of several variables (implicit function theorem), introduction to Fourier analysis, metric spaces and normed spaces. Applications to differential equations, calculus of variations, and others.

Four to six topics, chosen from fields such as geometry, number theory, and the real numbers, with emphasis on precise def-initions, examples, conjectures, theorems, and proof methods, including induction and contradiction. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or 136 or consent of instructor.
