MATH 490 GRAPH THEORY - 3 semester hours
F, Sp
Introduction to graphs and digraphs, introduction to algorithms, tree, networks, Eulerian and Hamiltonian
graphs, planar graphs, coloring of graphs.
Prerequisites: MATH 261 Calculus II; CSCI 281 Discrete Structures
MATH 493 TOPICS IN MATHEMATICS - 3 semester hours
F, Sp, Su
Topics in mathematics not covered in ordinary courses. The course may be repeated once for credit if
content is different.
Prerequisite: Consent of instructor
MATH 495 MATHEMATICS SEMINAR - 3 semester hours
F, Sp
Required of all senior mathematics majors. A capstone course designed (1) review, unify, and extend
assess students’ comprehensive mathematical knowledge through the administration of a departmental
Field Test. Students will be expected to achieve a satisfactory level of performance on the Field Test in
order to be eligible for graduation.
Prerequisite: Senior academic standing or by permission by instructor
MATH 499 GRE MATHEMATICS REVIEW - 3 semester hours
F,Sp, Su
Whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, signed numbers, averages and medians, powers, exponents
and roots, algebraic expressions, equations, verbal problems, counting problems, ratio and proportions,
sequence and progressions, inequalities, lines, polygons, tri-angles, quadrilaterals, circles, area and
perimeter, coordinate geometry, tables, circle, line and bar graphs, cumulative graphs, analytical reasoning
tactics, and logical reasoning tactics. A considerable part of the course will be devoted to practice tests
similar to quantitative tests of GRE in order to develop the problem-solving and test-taking techniques
required.
