MACM 409/709
Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization

The course is aimed at students interested in scientific computing. Along with an introductory numerical analysis course, this is a foundational course. This means that if you're interested in using mathematical or statistical tools for processing data or simulation, then you will almost surely need tools from numerical linear algebra. 

You will see and work with a range of applications of this material. Familiarity with an undergraduate linear algebra course is a must, and prior computing experience is assumed.

MATH 301
Mathematicals Journey I

Want to play with puzzles and get credit for it?

In this course we will play around with Rubik's cube, TopSpin, and other fun, but challenging puzzles to develop an understanding of, and intuition for group theory. You'll even learn some computing.

Group theory is a very powerful and exciting branch of mathematics. It is often described as the algebra of symmetry and transformations. Physicists, chemists, biologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians all use these concepts. Now is your chance to take a fun, hands-on approach to this subject!

MATH 425/725
Real  Analysis 

It is all just 'definition-theorem-proof'. There are no pictures, and we will look at  no  applications  . Your 'intuition' is irrelevant, you have none. The assignments are very hard, and the lectures are pure  chalkboard. You'll have to take notes by hand. This is an unapologetically rigorous course on measure and integration.
