Math 4377 - Advanced Linear Algebra I
|
|
| Prerequisites: | |
| Text(s): | Linear Algebra, Fourth Edition by Stephen H. Friedberg, Arnold J. Insel, Lawrence E. Spence |
| Description: | Syllabus: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 (4.1-4.4), Chapter 5 (5.1-5.2) (probably not covered) Course Description: The general theory of Vector Spaces and Linear Transformations will be developed in an axiomatic fashion. Determinants will be covered to study eigenvalues, eigenvectors and diagonalization. Grading: There will be three Tests and the Final. I will take the two highest test scores (60%) and the mandatory final (40%). Tests and the Final are based on homework problems and material covered in class. |

MATH 5310 - History of Mathematics
|
|
| Prerequisites: | Graduate standing |
| Text(s): | No textbook is required. |
| 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 Learn, visit http://www.uh.edu/webct/ for information on obtaining ID and password. The course will be based on my notes. Homework and Essays assignement are posted in Blackboard Learn. There are four submissions for homework and essays and each of them covers 10 lecture notes. The dates of submission will be announced. All homework and essays, handwriting or typed, should be turned into PDF files and be submitted through Blackboard Learn. Late homework is not acceptable. There is one final exam in multiple choice. Grading: 40% homework, 45% projects, 15 % Final exam |
