Courses

This course focuses on advanced principles of light design and lighting aesthetics. It covers the variable elements one encounters during the design process as it applies to stage lighting.

A study of linear and orthogonal transformations, orthogonal and unitary matrices, numerical linear algebra, and applications. Spectral theory and duality.

Topics include inner product spaces, norms, self adjoint and normal operators, orthogonal and unitary operators, orthogonal projections and the spectral theorem, bilinear and quadratic forms, generalized eigenvectors, and Jordan canonical form.

This course is a proof based investigation of linear algebra with a theoretical emphasis. Topics include systems of linear equations; matrices; determinants; vector spaces; linear transformations; eigenvalues, and eigenvectors.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors; linear programming; Markov processes; numerical linear algebra; game theory and other applications.

This course discusses advanced mathematical modeling computational methods for solving linear and integer programming problems in engineering. Additional topics include solution techniques, such as stochastic and dynamic programming, that may also apply for solving non-linear programs, and formulation and solution of decision models arising in manufacturing, service, supply chain, healthcare and electrical systems.

Modern techniques for analysis and design of linear control systems. Matrix formulation, multivariable control systems, state variable concepts. Linear transformation, controllability, observability, discrete-time systems.

Focuses on preparation of complete meals to order. Emphasizes cooking center of the plate items such as meat, fish, seafood, and poultry as well as accompaniment foods such as starches and vegetables. Enables the student to prepare sauces, entrée salads, edible garnishes, and meals determined by the menu prepared for a dining room setting. Emphasizes line supervisor, sauté cook, pantry cook, cook’s helper and runner responsibilities.
