    A study of various methods of proofs and mathematical structures covering logic, universal and existential quantifiers, sets, functions, and selected topics in discrete mathematics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and real analysis. This is a bridge course to abstract mathematics and should be taken prior to or concurrently with courses in linear or abstract algebra, and real or complex analysis.
    Prerequisite(s): MAT 245 
  
  • MAT 323 - Abstract Algebra I


    Units: 3
    When Offered: Spring
    An introduction to the structure of algebraic systems such as groups, subgroups, cosets, homomorphisms, factor groups, rings and fields.
    Prerequisite(s): MAT 313 
  
  • MAT 333 - Complex Variables


    Units: 3
    When Offered: Spring
    Structure of complex numbers and their functions, analytic, harmonic, and elementary functions, residue theory, and conformal mapping.
    Prerequisite(s): MAT 313 
  
  • MAT 342 - Fundamentals of Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations for Engineers


    Units: 3
    When Offered: Spring
    Students will learn basic concepts of Linear Algebra and multivariable calculus in the context of differential equations. Analytic and numerical methods of solving ordinary differential equations will be discussed. Furthermore, students will be briefly introduced to the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations. Separation of Variables will be discussed as a method for solving partial differential equations as well as some other methods. Problems discussed in class will have applications in engineering, physics, biology, and chemistry.
    Prerequisite(s): MAT 255  and Pre-Chemical Engineering or Chemical Engineering
  
  • MAT 343 - Multivariable Calculus


    Units: 4
    When Offered: Fall, Spring
    Study and applications of vector analysis, partial differentiation, multiple integration, Jacobians, theorems of Green and Stokes, and divergence theorem.
    Prerequisite(s): MAT 255
