A community building weekly seminar introducing S-STEM scholars to the different directions of research pursued in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and applications of mathematics and statistics in industry. During fall and spring semesters, the seminar will be a one-credit course that S-STEM scholars can register and receive a grade for. Embedded within the seminars, students will work on short- and long-term goal setting for their program and career aspirations, routinely conduct self-reflections, and have regular peer and facilitator feedback.

This course helps prepare students for the actuarial probability exam.

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.

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.
