MATH 420 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA I 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 305 and MATH 320. This sequence of two courses offers a rigorous introduction to modern abstract algebra. Topics<br />

include groups, rings, fields, integral domains and the homomorphisms that operate between them.<br />

MATH 421 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA II 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 305 and MATH 320. This sequence of two courses offers a rigorous introduction to modern abstract algebra. Topics<br />

include groups, rings, fields, integral domains and the homomorphisms that operate between them.<br />

MATH 428 ADVANCED LINEAR ALGEBRA 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 305. Proceeding from a rigorous perspective, we examine the properties of finite dimensional vector<br />

spaces over arbitrary fields and the linear transformations that operate between them.<br />

MATH 430 ADVANCED CALCULUS I 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 305. This course include a rigorous treatment of the elements of point set topology, sequences and<br />

series, continuity, differentiability, Riemann‐Stieltjes integration, function sequences, and, time permitting, some special functions and Fourier<br />

series.<br />

MATH 431 ADVANCED CALCULUS II 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 305. This course includes a rigorous treatment of the elements of point set topology, sequences and<br />

series, continuity, differentiability, Riemann‐Stieltjes integration, function sequences, and, time permitting, some special functions and Fourier<br />

series.<br />

MATH 440 INTRO TO OPTIMIZATION THEORY 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 228 and MATH 232. This course offers an introduction to convex analysis, unconstrained optimization in n‐dimensional<br />

Euclidean space, convex programming and duality. Analysis of two nonlinear algorithms will be studied: Newton's method and the method of<br />

steepest descent.<br />

MATH 450 OVERVIEW OF COLLEGE MATH 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 226, 228, 240, 305 and 320. This course consists of a sequence of distinct modules, each devoted to the treatment of a<br />

specific fundamental result, principle, or theme in college level mathematics, providing a grand synthesis of the entire undergraduate<br />

mathematics curriculum. Topics include: the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, the Fundamental<br />

Theorem of Calculus, the Central Limit Theorem, the Principals of Mathematical Induction, the Five Famous Formulas of College Mathematics,<br />

and some famous proofs by contradiction.<br />

MATH 460 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS I 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 228, MATH 232, MATH 252 and MATH 300.ÿ Elements of the theory and application of numerical analysis using<br />

computers; solution of linear and nonlinear systems of equations; computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors; basic approximation theory;<br />

interpolation techniques; numerical quadrature; solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. Extensive use of graphing<br />

calculator/computer should be expected.<br />

MATH 461 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS II 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 228, MATH 232, MATH 252 and MATH 300. Elements of the theory and application of numerical analysis using<br />

computers; solution of linear and nonlinear systems of equations; computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors; basic approximation theory;<br />

interpolation techniques; numerical quadrature; solution of ordinary and partial differential equations will be discussed. Extensive use of<br />

graphing calculator/computer should be expected.<br />

MATH 470 COMPLEX ANALYSIS 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 232. This course provides an introduction to the theory and applications of functions of a complex variable. Topics<br />

include: complex numbers, analytic and harmonic functions, elementary functions, Cauchy‐Riemann equations, contour integration, Cauchy‐<br />

Goursat theorem, Cauchy's integral formula, series and the residue calculus.<br />

MATH 485 GENERAL TOPOLOGY 3 CREDITS<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 305. This course develops the fundamental concepts of general topology. Topics include topological spaces, continuity,<br />

homeomorphism, identification topology, quotient spaces, separation axioms, countability axioms, compactness, connectedness, local<br />

connectedness, path<br />

components, and metrizable spaces.<br />

MATH 495 ADVANCED PROB SEMINAR 1 CREDIT<br />

Prerequisite(s): MATH 228 or Consent of the Instructor. Solving problems from previous Putnam Competitions is the principal activity of these<br />

courses. The problems are drawn from the entire spectrum of mathematical inquiry including Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Number Theory,<br />

Logic, Combinatorics, and Probability. Enrollees are expected to participate as members or alternate members of the BSU Team in the William<br />

Lowell Putnam Competition, held annually in December.<br />
