Information for Fall Courses, 2007
used in Advising Week, Spring, 2007
M311-01 Abstract Algebra
MW 11:00-12:15, 4th hour F 11:00-11:50
Margaret Robinson
Topics include algebraic structures: groups, rings (including some elementary number theory), fields, and vector spaces.
Meets Science and Math II-A requirement. Prereq. Mathematics 211 and another 200-level mathematics course.

M319-01 Topics in Algebra: Lie Groups
MW 8:35-9:50; 4th hour F 9:00-9:50
Harriet Pollatsek
The topic for fall 2007 is Lie groups. The study of Lie groups (named for the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie) provides rich connections to many parts of mathematics and important applications to physics and chemistry. Topics include symmetry groups, linearization, one-parameter subgroups and the exponential map, Lie algebras and adjoint maps, and classical matrix groups.
Meets Science and Math II-A requirement. Prereq. Mathematics 211; Math 311 helpful but not necessary.

STAT340-01 Applied Regression Methods
TuTh 1:15-2:30; 4th hour F 2:15-3:05
Janice Gifford
This course includes methods for choosing, fitting, evaluating, and comparing statistical models; introduces statistical inference; and analyzes data sets taken from research projects in the natural, physical, and social sciences.
Meets Science and Math II-A requirement. Prereq. Mathematics 211 or any statistics course.

STAT342-01 Probability
MW 1:15-2:30, 4th hour F 1:15-2:05
Richard Jordan
This course develops the ideas of probability simultaneously from experimental and theoretical perspectives. The laboratory provides a range of experiences that enhance and sharpen the theoretical approach and, moreover, allows us to observe regularities in complex phenomena and to conjecture theorems. Topics include: introductory experiments; axiomatic probability; random variables, expectation, and variance; discrete distributions; continuous distributions; stochastic processes; functions of random variables; estimation and hypothesis testing.
Meets Science and Math II-A requirement. Prereq. Multivariable Calculus
