MATH 5514      Mathematics For Secondary Teachers: Algebra And Analysis
Designed for secondary-school teachers. Examine high school mathematics from a higher point of view. Real and complex numbers, functions, algebraic structures of equations, integers and polynomials, number system structures; analyses of alternate approaches, extensions and applications of mathematical ideas, discussion of historical contexts and connections between ideas that may have been studied separately in different courses, relationships of ideas studied in secondary-school to those students may encounter in later study. When taken for graduate credit as MATH 5514, an extra project is required. Prerequisites: MATH 220 , MATH 301, and one of MATH 402 or MATH 410 Offered: Every Winter

MATH 5521      Differential Equations
This course offers an introduction to the qualitative theory and applications of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The presentation of the course will be a blend of fundamental theory and examples. The basic results will be proved rigorously and more advanced results will be only illustrated by examples that demonstrate when and how they may be applied. Prerequisites: MATH 345,MATH 412 and MATH 420, or consent of the instructor.
