Courses
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.
A calculus-based introduction to statistics. This course covers probability and combinatorial problems, discrete and continuous random variables and various distributions including the binomial, Poisson, hypergeometric normal, gamma and chi-square. Moment generating functions, transformation and sampling distributions are studied.
An introduction to numerical linear algebra. Numerical linear algebra is fundamental to all areas of computational mathematics. This course will cover direct numerical methods for solving linear systems and linear least squares problems, stability and conditioning, computational methods for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and iterative methods for both linear systems and eigenvalue problems.
