DSC 301: Matrix Methods Data Analysis

Matrix methods with emphasis on applied data analysis. Matrix norms; LU, QR and SV decomposition of matrices; least squares problems, orthogonal vectors and matrices; applications to data analysis.

EAS 600: Dissertation Proposal Prep

Doctoral thesis proposal development based on technical writing process, data interpretation, experimental design. Students who successfully complete the course will be able to assess information from the primary scientific literature, formulate scientific questions (hypotheses), and generate an experimental plan to help validate or nullify their hypothesis. Students will demonstrate a command of oral and written communication skills by completing this course.
