Theory Of Numbers

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.

Complex Variables

Complex numbers and functions, analytic functions, complex integration, series, residues, conformal mappings. Applications: computation of real integrals, Dirichlet's boundary value problem and its application to physics and engineering. Prerequisite: MATH 233.

Writing in Mathematics

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.

Ord Dif Eq/Sci Eng

Introduction to ordinary differential equations. First and second order linear differential equations, systems of linear differential equations, Laplace transform, numerical methods, applications. Prerequisite: MATH 132, or 136; corequisite: MATH 233.

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