My coursework

This is the second semester of the accelerated calculus sequence. The theory and applications of sequences and infinite series, including those involving functions of one variable, and an introduction to the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables; subjects include methods of integration, parametric equations, sequences, infinite series, power series, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, and multiple integrals. Three lecture hours and two discussion hours a week for one semester.

Explore fundamental concepts for AI literacy, as well as the ethical and societal implications of AI technologies. Taught as a Web-based course.

A general survey of physics; primarily laws of motion, heat, and wave phenomena. Three lecture hours and one discussion hour a week for one semester.

Covers fundamentals of probability, combinatorics, discrete and continuous random variables, jointly distributed random variables, and limit theorems. Using probability to introduce fundamentals of statistics, including Bayesian and classical inference. The equivalent of four lectures hours a week.

Open to all University students. Studies of the popular music of a selected culture or geographical area. Three lecture hours a week for one semester, with one laboratory hour a week as required. May be repeated for credit when the topics vary.

Participate in an introductory mechanics laboratory. Three laboratory hours a week for one semester.

Methods for engineering software with a focus on abstraction; specification, design, and implementation of object-oriented code; design and implementation of object-oriented programs in Java; abstract data types; inheritance; polymorphism; parameterized types and generic programming; the operation and application of commonly used data structures; miscellaneous high-level programming topics.

Same as Comparative Literature 315. Introduction to masterpieces of world literature, emphasizing historical, generic, and thematic connections. Three lecture hours a week for one semester. Some sections require an additional discussion hour a week.

an introductory course in probability and statistics and may be your first course in quantitative methods at the upper level of the economics course sequence. The objective of this course is to prepare students for further studies of econometrics by providing students with (1) basic knowledge about interpretation of economic data, (2) an introduction to statistical models, estimation, and inference in economics, and (3) instances involving combinations of theoretical statistics and mathematical background with real-life data analysis skills in economics and business situations.

In RHE 306, Rhetoric & Writing, you will take the first step in changing the world by learning how to argue effectively in the public sphere. In this class, you will learn how to examine public rhetoric, analyze various positions that people hold, and effectively advocate your own position. You will also explore the ethics of argumentation, explaining what it means to “fairly” represent someone with whom you disagree, or how to responsibly address a community with particular values and interests. Your work in this course will help you advance the critical writing and reading skills you will need to succeed in courses for your major and university degree.

This is an introduction to linear algebra and differential equations. Geared to the audience primarily consisting of engineering and science students, the course aims to teach the basic techniques for solving differential equations that arise in applications. The approach is problem-oriented and not particularly theoretical. Most of the time is devoted to first and second-order ordinary differential equations with an introduction to Fourier series and partial differential equations at the end.

We start the course with a discussion of curves and surfaces in R2 and R3. To study those objects, we introduce tools such as matrices, inner products and the cross product. We then proceed to develop calculus for scalar a vector-valued functions of several variables. In particular, we discuss their limits, derivatives and integrals. We finish the course with Stokes’s theorem, which relates the integral over the boundary of a curve or surface U ⊂ R3 to the integral of a suitable object over U.

Parameter estimation and inference in regression models.

Examine mathematical treatment of microeconomic theory with application to real world subjects. Explore mathematical methods used by economists and apply them to analyze consumer behavior, choice under uncertainty, theory of the firm, game theory and general equilibrium.

A general survey of physics; primarily electricity, magnetism, and optics. Three lecture hours and one discussion hour a week for one semester.

Participate in an introductory electricity and magnetism laboratory. Three laboratory hours a week for one semester.
