  • MTH 313 - Applied Analysis, 3 credit hours


    Prerequisite(s): MTH 243 
    A calculus-based course in mathematical analysis for scientific and engineering applications. Topics will be drawn from vector analysis, complex arithmetic, Fourier series and transforms, Laplace transforms, and numerical methods.

  
  • MTH 315 - College Geometry, 3 credit hours


    Prerequisite(s): MTH 206  
    A continuation of the subject matter and methods of high school geometry, including theorems not taught in high school and an introduction to the modern geometry of the triangle and circle. Special attention is given to methods of proof and solving problems, the viewpoint being that of the prospective teacher or graduate student in mathematics. Finite and non-Euclidean geometries will be studied.
