MATH 131 Applied Calculus I

An introduction to differential and integral calculus, with an emphasis on applications. This course is intended for students in the life and social sciences, computer science, and business. Topics include: modeling change using functions including exponential and trigonometric functions, the concept of the derivative, computing the derivative, applications of the derivative to business and life, social, and computer sciences, and an introduction to integration.

MATH 318/418 Combinatorics

This course offers a rigorous introduction to combinatorics, including topics such as induction, the pigeon-hole principle, permutations, combinations, recurrence relations, generating functions, the inclusion-exclusion principle, and other selected topics drawn from partitions, graph theory, graph coloring, and combinatorial design, Polya's theory, Ramsey's theorem, and optimization problems.
