Valuation of financial derivatives as a family of algorithmic computations, with analysis of the underlying financial model and hands-on implementation practice.

Topics may include the Score and generalized likelihood ratio tests, chi- squaredtests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, basic linear model theory, ridge and lasso, Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampling, permutation tests, the bootstrap and survival modeling. Special topics. Not open to students who are taking or who have received credit for MATH 643.

Hands-on introduction to computing geared toward aiding mathematics teachers both administratively and academically. Computer terminology, computer math, operating systems, web page creation, Internet research, word processing, spreadsheets, database management, mathematics software, computer programming and networking are all part of the experience. Strengthening problem-solving/programming skills and preparing pupils to cope with changing computer environments are major goals.

Instruction set architectures, including RISC, CISC, stack, and VLIW architectures. The memory hierarchy, including cache design and performance issues, shared memory organizations, and bus structures. Models of parallel computing, including multiprocessors, multicomputers, multivector, SIMD, PRAM, and MIMD architectures. Pipelining models, including clocking and timing, instruction pipeline design, arithmetic pipeline design, and superscalar pipelining

Introduction to the hardware and software components of graphics systems, representations of 2D and 3D primitives, geometric and viewing transformations, techniques for interaction, color models and shading methods, algorithms for clipping, hidden surface removal, and scan conversion. Programming projects using graphics API to demonstrate the process of computerized image synthesis.

May be repeated for a maximum of six credits with permission of the department. Special Projects courses are designed for students who want more intensive work in any studio discipline, or to strengthen or advance their basic skills in computer imaging.
