Sample Classes

• MATH 3204: Calculus IV

  This course is the fourth in the calculus curriculum and is concerned with the change of variables for integrals on two and three dimensional regions, line integrals, surface integrals, Green’s theorem, and Stokes theorem. The analogue of Stokes’ theorem (the theorem of Gauss) for integrals of functions on three-dimensional parametric regions will also be studied.

• MATH 4310: Partial Differential Equations

  This course is an introduction to partial differential equations (PDEs), their applications in the sciences and the techniques that have proved useful in analyzing them. The techniques include separation of variables, Fourier series and Fourier transforms, orthogonal functions and eigenfunction expansions, Bessel functions, and Legendre polynomials. The student will see how the sciences motivate the formulation of partial differential equations as well as the formulation of boundary conditions and initial conditions. Parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic PDEs will be studied.

• MATH 4391: Complex Analysis

  This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of complex analysis, its beautiful theory and powerful applications. Topics covered will include: the algebra and geometry of the complex plane, properties of elementary functions of a complex variable, analytic and harmonic functions, conformal mappings, continuity, differentiation, integration (Cauchy integral theory), singularities, Taylor and Laurent series, residues and, time permitting, their applications.

• MATH 4596: Topology

  This course is an introduction to the study of topology. Topics include topological spaces, subspaces, basis, continuity, separation and countability axioms, connectedness, and compactness.
