This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject of mathematics.
Includes congruences, quadratic reciprocity, Diophantine equations, and number-theoretic functions, among others. Prerequisite: MATH 3354 or instructor permission.
Surveys groups, rings, and fields, and presents applications to other areas of mathematics, such as geometry and number theory. Explores the rational, real, and complex number systems, and the algebra of polynomials. Prerequisite: MATH 1320 or equivalent and graduate standing.
Studies finite and infinite automata, Turing machines; discusses relations between automata and groups, respectively, other algebraic structures.
Topics selected from analytic, affine, projective, hyperbolic, and non-Euclidean geometry. Prerequisite: MATH 2310, 3351, or instructor permission.
Topics selected from the theory of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space and the theory of manifolds. Prerequisite: MATH 2310 and 3351, or instructor permission.
Topological spaces and continuous functions, connectedness, compactness, countability and separation axioms, and function spaces. Time permitting, more advanced examples of topological spaces, such as projectives spaces, as well as an introduction to the fundamental group will be covered. Prerequisite: MATH 2310 and 3351, with 3310 recommended.
Presentation of selected topics in mathematics. Prerequisite: MATH 5310; corequisite: MATH 5652 or instructor permission.
This course reviews the proofs of the main theorems in algebra in preparation for the advanced graduate algebra courses.This course is offered in the summer and restricted to Mathematics and Graduate Arts and Science students.
