MATH 111 - Calculus

Description of Math 111 courses

This includes a treatment of limits, continuity, derivatives, mean value theorem, integration-including the fundamental theorem of calculus, and definitions of the trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions.

MATH 112 - Introduction to Analysis

Field axioms, the real and complex fields, sequences and series. Complex functions, continuity and differentiation; power series and the complex exponential.

MATH 113 - Discrete Structures

Sets, cardinality, number theory, combinatorics, probability. Proof techniques and problem solving. Additional topics may include graph theory, finite fields, and computer experimentation.

MATH 141 - Introduction to Probability and Statistics

The basic ideas of probability including properties of expectation, the law of large numbers, and the central limit theorem are discussed. These ideas are applied to the problems of statistical inference, including estimation and hypothesis testing. The linear regression model is introduced, and the problems of statistical inference and model validation are studied in this context. A portion of the course is devoted to statistical computing and graphics.

MATH 201 - Linear Algebra

A brief introduction to field structures, followed by presentation of the algebraic theory of finite dimensional vector spaces. Topics include linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalization. Geometry of inner product spaces is examined in the setting of real and complex fields.

MATH 202 - Vector Calculus

The derivative as a linear function, partial derivatives, optimization, multiple integrals, change of variables, Stokes's theorem.

MATH 241 - Data Science

Applied statistics class with an emphasis on data analysis. The course will be problem driven with a focus on collecting and manipulating data, using exploratory data analysis and visualization tools, identifying statistical methods appropriate for the question at hand, and communicating the results in both written and presentation form.

MATH 243 - Statistical Learning

An overview of modern approaches to analyzing large and complex data sets that arise in a variety of fields from biology to marketing to astrophysics. The most important modeling and predictive techniques will be covered, including regression, classification, clustering, resampling, and tree-based methods. There will be several projects throughout the course, which will require significant programming in R.

MATH 311 - Complex Analysis

A study of complex valued functions: Cauchy's theorem and residue theorem, Laurent series, and analytic continuation.

MATH 321 - Real Analysis

A careful study of continuity and convergence in metric spaces. Sequences and series of functions, uniform convergence, normed linear spaces.

MATH 322 - Ordinary Differential Equations

An introduction to the theory of ordinary differential equations. Existence and uniqueness theorems, global behavior of solutions, qualitative theory, numerical methods.

MATH 332 - Abstract Algebra

An elementary treatment of the algebraic structure of groups, rings, fields, and/or algebras.

MATH 341 - Topics in Geometry

Topics in geometry selected by the instructor. Possible topics include the theory of plane ornaments, coordinatization of affine and projective planes, curves and surfaces, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and non-Euclidean geometry.

MATH 342 - Topology

An introduction to basic topology, followed by selected topics such as topological manifolds, embedding theorems, and the fundamental group and covering spaces.

MATH 343 - Statistics Practicum

In this course, students will participate in a team-based, semester-long research project. Class time will be divided between supervised research time and a seminar focused on providing students with skills to facilitate their research. Seminar topics will include reproducible workflows, effective strategies for collaborative work, technical writing, statistical consulting, and scientific presentations. The course covers several components of the research process, such as literature reviews, technical writing, and scientific presentations. Emphasis is placed on developing a reproducible workflow.

MATH 346 - Bayesian Statistics

An introduction to the philosophy and practice of Bayesian statistics, an alternative framework to the classical frequentist approach. The course starts with foundational topics including Bayes' theorem, conjugacy, and the philosophical and practical differences between Bayesian and frequentist approaches. We then take a deep dive into regression, hierarchical models, computational methods, and other advanced topics among missing data, mixture models, and prediction, all from a Bayesian perspective. Emphasis is placed on applying Bayesian methods to real-world datasets.

MATH 361 - Number Theory

A study of integers, including topics such as divisibility, theory of prime numbers, congruences, and solutions of equations in the integers.

MATH 372 - Combinatorics

Emphasis is on enumerative combinatorics including such topics as the principle of inclusion-exclusion, formal power series and generating functions, and permutation groups and Pólya theory. Selected other topics such as Ramsey theory, inversion formulae, the theory of graphs, and the theory of designs will be treated as time permits.

Theories of statistical inference, including maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian inference. Topics may be drawn from the following: large sample properties of estimates, linear models, multivariate analysis, empirical Bayes estimation, and statistical computing.

MATH 394 - Causal Inference

Overview of the statistical tools used to estimate causal effects. This course uses the potential outcomes framework and structural causal models to define causal estimates, and introduces the methods and assumptions needed to estimate them. Topics include randomized experiments, regression adjustment, propensity scores, matching, weighting, doubly robust and augmented estimation, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and sensitivity analysis. Students will present on advanced topics. Assignments involve using R to apply course topics on real and simulated data, and mathematical proofs and derivations.
