A continuation of the study begun in MAT 330. Topics include point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation, and one and two-way analysis of variance. This course is an extension of MAT 380 and is designed for senior mathematics majors who expect to do graduate work. Topics include rings, fields, polynomials, and an introduction to the Galois theory. A study of the development of mathematics from its earliest known introduction to the present time.
Emphasis is placed on a comparison of historical and modern techniques.
One, two, or three credits. Independent research on a mathematical subject of interest to the student under the guidance of a Mathematics faculty member. Upon completion of the research, the student must prepare a written report and make an oral presentation on the research.
