MATH-503 Advanced Calculus

This course is an advanced multivariate treatment of calculus for the mature student of mathematics. Course content will include advanced treatment of differentiation and integration as well as advanced topics including Fourier Series and special functions. Prerequisite: A bachelor's degree with a Mathematics major or must be state certified (in any state) to teach Mathematics at a secondary school level

3

MATH-504 Real Analysis

This course offers a rigorous study of the real numbers and associated functions in order to deepen students' understanding of calculus and raise their ability to effectively formulate and communicate mathematics. It reviews concepts of real-valued functions defined on the real line and proceeds to extend these results as applicable to complex valued functions and metric spaces. It also includes a rigorous examination of properties of some important special functions. Prerequisite: A bachelor's degree with a Mathematics major or must be state certified (in any state) to teach Mathematics at a secondary school level

MATH-505 Statistical Methods I

This applied statistics course presents a variety of statistical topics in the context of real world data. The goal of this course is to demonstrate the broad applicability of advanced statistical techniques. Topics include probability, inferences for one and two sample means, inferences for more than two sample means, inferences for one and two sample proportions, multiple-comparison procedures, and nonparametric methods. Prerequisite: A bachelor's degree with a Mathematics major or must be state certified (in any state) to teach Mathematics at a secondary school level

3

MATH-506 Modern Geometry

This course offers a critical presentation of the development and philosophical significance of non-Euclidean geometry. The goal of this course is to advance understanding of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, through analytic methods and critical thinking. Prerequisite: A bachelor's degree with a Mathematics major or must be state certified (in any state) to teach Mathematics at a secondary school level
