Same as MTH 291. Formerly MTH 247. Theory and applications of regression techniques; linear and nonlinear multiple regression models, residual and influence analysis, correlation, covariance analysis, indicator variables and time series analysis. This course includes methods for choosing, fitting, evaluating and comparing statistical models and analyzes data sets taken from the natural, physical and social sciences. Prerequisite: one of the following: MTH 201/PSY 201, GOV 190, MTH 219, MTH 220, ECO 220, or the equivalent or a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Statistics examination.

Many important problems that arise in practical applications of discrete optimization are NP-hard. This implies no polynomial time algorithms exist for these problems unless P==NP. The field of approximation algorithms has developed to tackle this difficulty by designing polynomial time algorithms to solve otherwise intractable problems near-optimally. Approximation algorithms provide rigorous guarantees on approximation factors indicating how far the solution can be in the worst case.

Properties of complex numbers. Rectangular, exponential, and graphical representations of complex numbers. Euler's identity and translating between representations. Basic and advanced operations with complex numbers, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, as well as exp(z), ln(z), a^z, and z^a. Applying knowledge of complex numbers to linear algebra and differential equations using MATLAB.

Graduate student identity and professionalization through the lens of developing critical skills needed to function as a TA.

In a culturally and socially diverse society,;discussion about issues of difference, conflict;and community are needed to facilitate;understanding between social/cultural groups. In;this intergroup dialogue, students will actively;participate in two days (16 hours) of;semi-structured, face-to-face meetings with;students from other social identity groups.;Students will learn from each others';perspectives, read and discuss relevant reading;material, and explore their own and other groups';experiences in various social and institutional;contexts.
