Special Topics Courses in Math

Here is a list of some of the most recent topics courses. If any of these seem interesting to you, ask the professor if they would like to teach the course again.

  • by A. Heap
    Description: This course is an introduction to some topics in algebraic topology, including the fundamental group, homology, and cohomology. For these purposes, we will also discuss various algebraic topics including group presentations, free groups, free abelian groups, torsion groups. The course will allow students to see how algebraic concepts and techniques can be used to study topological spaces. This will help students see the interrelation between two main branches of mathematics, topology and abstract algebra. Prerequisites: Math 330.
  • Applied & Numerical Linear Algebra by C. Haddad
  • Applied Optimization by A. Almomani
    Description: An introduction to mathematical modeling and methods for constrained and unconstrained optimization, including optimality conditions and numerical algorithms. Applications emphasize formulating real-world problems, implementing solutions using computational software, and evaluating results. Prerequisites: Math 223, Math 233.

  • Financial Mathematics by C. Tang

  • Integral Equations & Ill-Posed Problems by A. Kedzierawski
  • by A. Heap
    Description: Topology is the study of spaces and sets and is sometimes thought of as rubber-sheet geometry, where you are allowed to bend and deform shapes. This course is an introduction to some topics in low-dimensional, geometric topology, and algebraic topology, including knots and links, surfaces and other manifolds, and the fundamental group. The course will allow students to see the exciting ideas of topology from a geometric approach, rather than a set theoretic or algebraic approach. We will cultivate the intuitive ideas of continuity, convergence, and connectedness. This proof-based course will provide a chance for students to enhance their proof writing skills as well as their visualization skills. It will also help students see the interrelation among various branches of mathematics such as geometry, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and discrete mathematics. Prerequisites: Math 223, Math 233, Math 239.
