Course Rotations

Mathematics courses may be divided roughly into two categories - pure and applied. But in fact many span both of these categories. The list below is perhaps best described as one of emphasis rather than categorization. The notation S means the course is (normally) offered every Spring; F means it is offered in the Fall; and Su means it has been recently offered in the Summer.

Basic Courses:

preparation for advanced study for all students

 

• 2233, Differential Equations (F, S, Su)
• 3013, Linear Algebra (F, S, Su)
• 3263, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (S) (specifically designed for industrial engineers; only 6 hours combined from 2233, 3013 and 3263 may be used towards a degree)

Applied Mathematics Courses:

helpful for engineers and others seeking courses to assist in using mathematics to solve applied problems.
