Courses

Topics in the theory of polynomial and other equations, and in the properties of transcendental functions. The goal is the development of a deeper understanding of the equations and functions commonly encountered in precalculus mathematics. May require the use of computer software.

The study of health related components of physical fitness including cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Topics include the theoretical basis underlying physical fitness; instructional techniques for fitness development; and methods for leading an exercise session, including design, instruction, and evaluation. Offered in Spring.

Explores key concepts in film theory as well as writings of critics and directors.

Explores key concepts in film theory as well as writings of critics and directors.

Choice under certainty and uncertainty, time-state preference models, stochastic dominance, the mean-variance criterion, and asset pricing models Miller- Modigliani propositions would be developed.

This course is a continuation of topics in group theory from MA 637 with a strong emphasis on the structure of finite groups. Topics include a review of introductory group theory, Sylow theory, composition series and subnormality, split extensions, solvable groups, simple groups, commutators, fusion, and the transfer homomorphism. Computational algebra software may be utilized.

Introduction to the many systems that make up the aviation ecosystem, including aircraft, the humans and organizations that interact with them, and the principles and aerodynamics of flight.

Mathematical models of regular sets, context-free languages and Turing machines; deterministic and non-deterministic models, closure properties, normal forms and applications.

This course is designed to emphasize the role of function as the key unifying concept of mathematics. The properties of various families of functions will also be studied.

This course will discuss those topics that will enable the student to obtain a better grasp of the fundamental concepts of the calculus of real variables and the more recent developments of this analysis.
