MATH 5103. Linear Algebra II. Prerequisite: MATH 4003 or consent of
the department of mathematics. A continuation of MATH 4003 with emphasis on
abstract vector spaces, inner product spaces, linear transformations, kernel and
range, and applications of linear algebra. MATH 5103 may not be taken for credit
after completion of MATH 4103 or equivalent.
MATH 5113. History of Mathematics. Prerequisite: MATH 2943. A study of
selected topics from the history and nature of mathematics from ancient to
modern times. Emphasis will be placed on the historical development of
mathematics through a study of biographies of prominent mathematicians and the
evolution of some important mathematical concepts. The fundamental role of
mathematics in the rise, maintenance, and extension of modern civilization will
be considered. May not be taken for credit after completion of MATH 4113 or
equivalent.
MATH 5153. Applied Statistics II. Prerequisite: MATH 3153. This course
is a continuation of Math 3153 with emphasis on experimental design, analysis of
variance, and multiple regression analysis. Students will be required to design
and carry out an experiment, use a current statistical software package to
analyze the data, and make inferences based upon the analysis. Math 5153 may not
be taken for credit after completion of Math 4153 or equivalent.
MATH 5173. Advanced Biostatistics. Prerequisite: An introductory
statistics course or permission of instructor. This course will include analysis
of variance, one factor experiments, experimental design with two or more
factors, linear and multiple regression analysis, and categorical data analysis.
MATH 5273. Complex Variables. Prerequisite: MATH 2943. An introduction
to complex variables. This course will emphasize the subject matter and skills
needed for applications of complex variables in science, engineering, and
mathematics. Topics will include complex numbers, analytic functions, elementary
functions of a complex variable, mapping by elementary functions, integrals,
series, residues and poles, and conformal mapping. May not be taken for credit
after the completion of MATH 4273 or equivalent.
MATH 5293. Introductory Topology. Prerequisite: MATH 4253. Metric
spaces, topological spaces, mappings, limit points, continuity, connectedness,
and compactness. May not be taken for credit after completion of MATH 4293 or
equivalent.
MATH 6023. Higher Order Thinking in Mathematics. Prerequisite:
Permission of instructor. This course will provide mathematics teachers in
grades five through college with examples of lessons incorporating methods
appropriate for students with different learning styles. These lessons will
emphasize the use on manipulatives, hands-on materials, cooperative learning
techniques, and technology. Mathematical content will help teachers build
mathematical connections and concepts across grade levels using concrete
experiences and bridging to abstract understanding.
MATH 6123. Modern Geometry. Prerequisite: MATH 3123. A brief review of
standard topics in Euclidean Geometry followed by a study of hyperbolic and
elliptic geometries, projective geometry, and geometric topology.
MATH 6143. Number Theory. Prerequisite: MATH 3133. The standard topics
in the theory of numbers, including diversibility, congruences, quadratic
residues, and distribution of primes, continued fractions, and number theoretic
functions.
MATH 6183. Introduction to Real Analysis. Prerequisite: MATH 4253. Study
of real numbers, topology of the line and plane, sequences and series, and
differentiation and integration.
MATH 6881-3. Workshop. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. The
workshop will require the equivalency of fifteen clock hours of instruction per
credit hour.
MATH 6891-4. Independent Study. Open to graduate students who wish to
pursue individual study or investigation of some facet of knowledge which
complements the purpose of the University's graduate program. Students will be
required to plan their studies and prepare formal written reports of their
findings. The selected topic may not constitute any duplication of study leading
to the accomplishment of a thesis.
MATH 6993. Thesis Research. Directed research on a thesis topic
selected by the student in consultation with a supervising professor.
