Core Coursework
Calculus I - III
MTH 141, 142, 241
Covers the fundamental concepts of calculus, from single-variable to multivariable applications. Calculus 1 introduces limits, derivatives, and their applications to rates of change and optimization. Calculus 2 focuses on integration techniques, applications like areas and volumes, and infinite series. Calculus 3 extends these ideas to multiple dimensions, exploring partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector fields.
Math
Differential Equations
MTH 306
Analytic solutions, qualitative behavior of solutions to differential equations. First-order and higher-order ordinary differential equations, including nonlinear equations. Covers analytic, geometric, and numerical perspectives as well as an interplay between methods and model problems. Discusses necessary matrix theory and explores differential equation models of phenomena from various disciplines.
Linear Algebra
MTH 309
Linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, linear mappings, inner products, eigenvalues, eigenvectors.
Applied Probability & Statistics
