Math 5310 History of Mathematics (07/11/2011 - 08/08/2011) - (Section# 18660 )
|
|
| Time: | Arrange (online course) |
| Instructor: | S. Ji |
| Prerequisites: | Graduate standing |
| Text(s): | Victor Katz, A History of Mathematics: An Introduction, 3rd (or 2nd Ed.), Addison-Wesley, 2009 (or 1998), and lecture notes. |
| Description: | This course is designed to provide a college-level experience in history of mathematics. Students will understand some critical historical mathematics events, such as creation of classical Greek mathematics, and development of calculus; recognize notable mathematicians and the impact of their discoveries, such as Fermat, Descartes, Newton and Leibniz, Euler and Gauss; understand the development of certain mathematical topics, such as Pythagoras theorem, the real number theory and calculus. Aims of the course: To help students to understand the history of mathematics; to attain an orientation in the history and philosophy of mathematics; to gain an appreciation for our ancestor's effort and great contribution; to gain an appreciation for the current state of mathematics; to obtain inspiration for mathematical education, and to obtain inspiration for further development of mathematics. On-line course is taught through Blackboard Vista, visit http://www.uh.edu/webct/ for information on obtaining ID and password. The course will be based on my notes. The textbook is used for extra reading, do homework or do project. In each week, from Monday to Thursday, two chapters of my notes will be posted per day in Blackboard Vista. Daily homework and reading assignment may be posted in Blackboard Vista, including projects(essays). In each week, turn all your homework once by Sunday midnight through Blackboard Vista. All homework, essays or exam paper, handwriting or typed, should be turned into PDF files and be submitted through Blackboard Vista. (In case you are in the campus, you could submit directly to my mailbox in the math department). There is one final exam in multiple choice. Grading: 30% homework, 50% projects, 20 % Final exam. |

Math 5350 Differential Geometry - (06/06/2011 - 07/05/2011) - (Section# 18662)
|
|
| Time: | Arrange (online course) |
| Instructor: | M. Ru |
| Prerequisites: | Consent of instructor |
| Text(s): | A set of notes will be written and distributed by Dr. Ru. |
| Description: | The course will be an introduction to the study of Differential Geometry-one of the classical (and also one of the more appealing) subjects of modern mathematics. We will primarily concerned with curves in the plane and in 3-space, and with surfaces in 3-space. We will use multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations to study the geometry of curves and surfaces in R3. Topics include: Curves in the plane and in 3-space, curvature, Frenet frame, surfaces in 3-space, the first and second fundamental form, curvatures of surfaces, Gauss's theorem egrigium, Gauss-Bonnet theorem, minimal surfaces. |
