MTH 248 - Intermediate Topics in Mathematics

Course Units: 1
(Fall; Staff) An exploration into topics chosen from different areas of pure mathematics, this course is divided into three sequential units, each taught by a different instructor. The topics are 1) convex geometry (including convex sets, linear and affine spans, simplices, and applications to a topic in game theory or the mathematics of voting); 2) ordered sets (including posets, order-preserving maps, chains, Zorn’s lemma, and Dilworth’s theorem); 3) introduction to analysis (sequences, series, convergence tests, complex series, and Euler’s formula). Students will receive a single grade for the entire course. Not normally open to students who will have completed MTH 219  , MTH 257, or MTH 336   by the end of the term, except by permission of the math department chairperson. Prerequisite(s): Take MTH 199   or permission from the Chair.
