Mathematics Second Year Course Descriptions

MATH 2037 E Advanced Calculus


The course begins with a review of vectors, lines and planes. This is followed by a study of scalar fucntions of several variables including such topics as: multiple integration; Jacobians; gradient and applications to curves, surfaces and volumes. Vector functions will be studied with particular attention given to: divergence; curl; the theorems of Green, Gauss and Stokes and applications. Prerequisites: MATH 1037 and 1057. (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 2056 E Discrete Mathematics II


This course will cover the following topics: countability of sets; first-order logic; algebra of relations; graph theory (including path problems, chromatic number, trees, planarity, directed graphs and directed trees); recurrence relations; 0(f), o(f) and ~(f) notations. Prerequisite: MATH 1056. Students may not recieve credits for both MATH 2056 and COSC 2056. (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 2057 E Linear Algebra II


The course begins with a review of matrix algebra and systems of linear equations. This is followed by abstract vector spaces and linear transformations including eigenvalues and eigenvectors, norms and inner products. Selected applications will be included. Prerequisites: MATH 1057. (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 2066 E Introduction to Differential Equations


This course will include treatment of first order Differential Equations, second order linear Differential Equations, higher order linear Differential Equations with constant coefficients, Taylor series solutions, and systems of first order linear DEs including matrix based methods. Prerequisite: MATH 1037 and MATH 1057. (lec 3) cr 3


STAT 2246 E Statistics for Science


The organization of data, discrete distributions (Binomial, Poisson), continuous distributions (Uniform, Normal and skewed) and linear combinations of variables are studied. The techniques of hypothesis testing and interval estimation are applied to problems involving means, variances, proportions, frequency tables, regression and correlation. Students are introduced to the use of statistical computer software. Prerequisite: MATH 1036. (lec 3, tut 1) cr 3
