Courses
MATH 5509 Algebra I Credits: 3
This course is a first graduate algebra course, focusing on group theory. Special attention is paid to the concept of symmetry, starting with the geometry of plane and space symmetries, and culminating with the Sylow theorems and their applications.
MATH 5510 Complex Variables I Credits: 3
The group of linear fractional transformations, complex integration, Cauchy's theorem, the maximum modulus theorem, analytic continuation, Riemann surfaces. Continued in MATH 5520.
MATH 5513 Real Variables I Credits: 3
Theory of measure with applications to analysis. Riemann and Lebesgue integration. Continued in MATH 5523.
MATH 5514 Mathematics for Secondary Teachers: Algebra and Analysis Credits: 3
Designed for secondary-school teachers. Examine high school mathematics from a higher point of view. Real and complex numbers, functions, algebraic structures of equations, integers and polynomials, number system structures; analyses of alternate approaches, extensions and applications of mathematical ideas, discussion of historical contexts and connections between ideas that may have been studied separately in different courses, relationships of ideas studied in secondary-school to those students may encounter in later study. When taken for graduate credit as Math 5514, an extra project is required.
Prerequisites: MATH 300.
MATH 5517 Matrix Theory I Credits: 3
Unitary matrices, normal matrices, Jordan canonical form, nonnegative matrices and their applications, the symmetric eigenvalue problem.
Prerequisites: MATH 420.
MATH 5519 Algebra II Credits: 3
This course is a second graduate algebra course, focusing on ring and field theory. Topics include factorization, the structure theorem for abelian groups and Galois theory.
Prerequisites: MATH 5509.
MATH 5521 Differential Equations Credits: 3
This course offers an introduction to the qualitative theory and applications of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The presentation of the course will be a blend of fundamental theory and examples. The basic results will be proved rigorously and more advanced results will be only illustrated by examples that demonstrate when and how they may be applied.
MATH 5524 Mathematics for Secondary Teachers: Geometry Credits: 3
Designed for secondary-school teachers. Examine high school mathematics from a higher point of view. Congruence, distance and similarity, trigonometry, area and volume, axiomatics and Euclidean geometry; analyses of alternate approaches, extensions, and applications of mathematical ideas, discussion of historical contexts and connections between ideas that may have been studied separately in different courses, relationships of ideas studied in secondary-school to those students may encounter in later study. When taken for graduate credit as Math 5524, an extra project is required.
