Classical theory of ordinary differential equations and some of its modern developments in dynamical systems theory. Linear systems and exponential matrix solutions. Well-posedness for nonlinear systems. Qualitative theory: limit sets, invariant set and manifolds. Stability theory: linearization about an equilibrium, Lyapunov functions. Autonomous two-dimensional systems and other special systems. Prerequisites: advanced calculus, linear algebra and basic ODE.

General theory of measure and integration and its specialization to Euclidean spaces and Lebesgue measure; modes of convergence, Lp spaces, product spaces, differentiation of measures and functions, signed measures, Radon-Nikodym theorem.

Introduction to groups, rings, and fields. Direct sums and products of groups, cosets, Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, quotient groups. Polynomial rings, UFDs and PIDs, division rings. Fields of fractions, GCD and LCM, irreducibility criteria for polynomials. Prime field, characteristic, field extension, finite fields. Some topics from Math 612 included.

In this course we present a detailed, rigorous, and hands-on examination of the fundamentals of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra as most applicable in the work of teachers in grades K-8. The instruction of the class will seek to model the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice as set out in the Common Core Standards. A guiding principle for the course is to uncover the strands that connect mathematics as a unified and coherent discipline.
