Nonlinear Dynamical Systems — MAT4127.01

Fall 2013
Instructor: Kathryn Montovan
Days & Time: TBA
Credits: 4
Dynamical systems are interactions that change in somewhat predictable ways. For these systems, rules can be written to describe the future state of a system from knowledge of present and past states. These rules are used to model a wide variety of phenomena in the physical, biological, social and economic sciences. This course will build on calculus skills and visual intuition

Number Theory — MAT4110.01

Spring 2016
Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
Number theory concerns properties of whole numbers: can two perfect cubes (like 8 or 27) ever add up to a third perfect cube? Are there infinitely many pairs of primes who differ by 2 (like 29 and 31)? Problems in number theory are often simple to understand and state. However, the problems are often ferociously difficult to solve, and in modern times, a wide range of
