Applications to physical problems. Three hours' lecture per week. MA 643 Graphs, Networks, and Combinatorics 3 s.h. Studies arrangements and counting through the use of classical and analytical techniques. Properties of arrangement and measure of graphs are also examined.
Emphasis is on computation and application.
MA 645 Nonlinear Programming Models 3 s.h. Also concerned with the theory of nonlinear optimization and with characteristics of optimal points. Optimization models of real-world problems which can be solved by nonlinear programming methodology are also presented. MA 650 History of Mathematics 3 s.h. People and ideas that have shaped the course of events in mathematics.
