MAS 4905   Directed Study

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Mathematics & Statistics

1-12 sh (may be repeated indefinitely for credit)

MAS 5145   Matrix Theory

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Mathematics & Statistics

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)

This course covers the facts about matrices that are necessary to understand areas of mathematical sciences that see applications. For example, numerical methods, statistics, differential equations and modeling, theoretical and applied economics. The course includes both the theory of matrices and the manipulation/computation of matrices. That is to say, there will be definitions, theorems and "proofs," and problems involving calculation (both hand calculation and calculation using technology). Thus, understanding and remembering definitions/theorems, proving results, computing, and explaining the results so obtained are essential aspects of the course.

MAS 6219   Analytic Number Theory

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Mathematics & Statistics

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)

This course uses analytical methods to analyze and understand basic arithmetic problems. The arithmetic concepts include prime numbers, arithmetic functions, prime producing polynomials, and partitions.

MAS 6329   Topics in Applied Algebra

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Mathematics & Statistics

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)

This course is intended to apply the fundamental concepts of abstract algebra to various branches of mathematics, including number theory, combinatorics, and geometry. There will be an emphasis on graph theory, design theory, and coding theory applications.
