Provides prospective elementary teachers with the opportunity to explore and master concepts involving number systems and operations, data analysis and probability. Additional topics may include geometry, measurement, and algebraic thinking. Mathematical reasoning, problem solving, and the use of appropriate manipulatives and technology are integrated throughout the course. Readings, class discussions, and assignments focus on mathematics content as well as applicable theories of learning, curriculum resources, and state and national recommendations. The course models instructional techniques that can be adapted to the elementary curricula. Credit offered only to M.Ed. and M.A.T., certificate students, and in-service teachers. (Not offered for credit if credit is received for MATH 821 or MATH 823.)

A survey of topics from undergraduate mathematics designed for graduate students in engineering and science interested in applications to geodesy and Earth Sciences. Topics include essential elements from analytic geometry, geometry of surfaces, linear algebra and statistics, Fourier analysis, discrete Fourier transforms and software, filtering applications to tidal data.

This is a course on statistics-oriented programming and common computational methodologies used in statistics. Students will learn principles and techniques of sample-splitting, cross-validation, simulation, bootstrap, and optimization, and how to implement them in R. The students will gain experience of reading/modifying, writing and debugging code, and how to speed up computation.

This course provides a solid grounding in modern applications of statistics to a wide range of disciplines by providing an overview of the fundamental concepts of statistical inference and analysis, including t-tests and confidence intervals. Additional topics include: ANOVA, multiple linear regression, analysis of cross classified categorical data, logistic regression, nonparametric statistics and data mining using CART. The use of statistical software, such as JMP. S PLUS, or R, is fully integrated into the course.
