Program Courses

• Introduction to Analysis (3 hrs): Covers, as a prerequisite to and in conjunction with Numerical Analysis: Rigorous development for the real case of the theories of continuous functions, differentiation, Riemann integration, infinite sequences and series, uniform convergence and related topics; an introduction to the complex case.
• Numerical Analysis (3 hrs): Covers, as a follow-up to and in conjunction with Numerical Analysis: Rigorous development for the real case of the theories of continuous functions, differentiation, Riemann integration, infinite sequences and series, uniform convergence and related topics; an introduction to the complex case.
• History of Mathematics with Technology (3 hrs): A survey of the development of major mathematical topics, including geometry, algebra, calculus, and set theory. Technological tools are used to investigate theorems and applications of mathematics.
• Problem Solving for Secondary Teachers: A rigorous inquiry into problem-solving, focusing on problems from various branches of mathematics, such as algebra, geometry, combinatorics, probability, calculus, and trigonometry; emphasis on the application of problem-solving techniques to courses in secondary school settings.
