MA 305 Introduction to Linear Algebra and Matrices
This course provides an elementary introduction to matrix theory and linear algebra with an emphasis on computation and applications. Topics include matrix algebra and linear systems; Gaussian elimination; LU and QR factorizations; determinants; vector spaces in R^n; the fundamental theorem of linear algebra; inner products, orthogonality, and least squares problems; eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and diagonalization; symmetric matrices and the spectral theorem; and singular value decomposition. Applications are drawn from graph theory, ranking and network analysis, image processing and compression, regression and data analysis, discrete dynamical systems, and mathematical modeling. MATLAB is used to support computation and visualization.
Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer
Applied Mathematics (BS)
/undergraduate/sciences/mathematics/applied-mathematics-bs/
The B.S. program in Applied Mathematics shares many basic features with the B.S. program in Mathematics. The primary difference is that this program includes a strong interdisciplinary concentration in a related field. The applied concentration, which must be approved by a student鈥檚 adviser, should be structured to promote specific career or educational objectives.
Applied Mathematics (BS): Financial Mathematics Concentration
/undergraduate/sciences/mathematics/applied-mathematics-bs-financial-mathematics-concentration/
The B.S in Applied Mathematics with a Financial Mathematics Concentration is a refinement of the B.S in Applied Mathematics degree . This program prepares students for careers in financial mathematics, actuarial science and portfolio management.
Mathematics (BS)
/undergraduate/sciences/mathematics/mathematics-bs/
The bachelor of science in mathematics is our most flexible curriculum. The mathematics and science requirements in the program along with the General Education Program in the humanities and social sciences ensure that graduates receive a broad education with a technical slant. At the same time, the large number of elective choices within the program makes it an appropriate curriculum for students with a variety of interests and career goals. Students can easily pair out a mathematics degree with another major (e.g. Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Math Educations, Economics, etc).
