Undergraduate courses in the Department of Mathematics divide roughly into classical mathematical areas as follows. However, note that such a division is subjective because most areas of mathematics have interesting and deep relationships with many other areas. Students planning on graduate work are encouraged to take courses in several fields to get some feeling for the breadth of mathematics.
Analysis
The branch of mathematics dealing with calculus and its generalizations is called analysis. Courses in this area include foundations of analysis (MATH 316-317), functions of a complex variable (MATH 411), numerical analysis (MATH 351-352), and analysis (MATH 413-414).
Algebra
The study of sets with operations generally falls under the heading of algebra. Our courses in this area include an introduction to linear algebra (MATH 341-342) and abstract linear algebra (MATH 441), a year-long sequence in abstract algebra (MATH 444-446), as well as number theory (MATH 347-348).
Probability and Statistics
Besides STAT 243 and MATH 425 (which are not aimed at math majors), the department offers MATH 461-463 on probability, inference, regression and analysis of variance, MATH 467 on stochastic processes, MATH 343 on applied inference, and MATH 345M on probability with connections to data science.
Topology, Geometry and Others
The department offers two terms of topology (MATH 431-432), one term of differential geometry (MATH 433), and classical geometry (MATH 394). There are also courses in cryptography (MATH 458), the history of mathematics (MATH 397), as well as an ever-evolving list of other special topics courses.
Featured Courses
MATH 307 Introduction to Proof
Proof is how mathematics establishes truth and communicates ideas. Introduces students to proof in the context of interesting mathematical problems.
MATH 347 Fundamentals of Number Theory I
A study of congruences, the Chinese remainder theorem, the theory of prime numbers and divisors, Diophantine equations, and quadratic reciprocity. Development of mathematical proof in these contexts.
MATH 397 History and Applications of Calculus
Historical applications of calculus. Topics may include volumes by the method of exhaustion, Archimedean spiral, Kepler problem, calculus of variations, brachistochrone problem, spread of infectious disease, analysis of savings.
