MATH 100 Exploring Climate through Data and Models 6 credits
Climate change is a complex process that spans multiple scales of time and space, from local extreme weather events lasting a few days to global glacial cycles that unfold over one hundred thousand years. Given this complexity, how do we quantify, understand, and predict Earth’s changing climate? Students in this course will build skills in analyzing datasets and mathematical models as we explore this question. Activities will include calculation-based problems that use algebra and spreadsheets, readings with discussion, and training in writing for both technical and broad audiences.
Held for new first year students. Requires concurrent registration in IDSC 198

MATH 241 Ordinary Differential Equations 6 credits
Ordinary differential equations are a fundamental language used by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to describe processes involving continuous change. In this course we develop ordinary differential equations as models of real world phenomena and explore the mathematical ideas that arise within these models. Topics include separation of variables; phase portraits; equilibria and their stability; non-dimensionalization; bifurcation analysis; and modeling of physical, biological, chemical, and social processes.

MATH 321 Real Analysis I 6 credits
A systematic study of single-variable functions on the real numbers. This course develops the mathematical concepts and tools needed to understand why calculus really works: the topology of the real numbers, limits, differentiation, integration, convergence of sequences, and series of functions.
