            Course Prerequisites:

          A course in differential equations (MA 341) or a higher analysis course

 

2.         Course Objectives:

 

The student is expected to achieve proficiency in and understanding of linear algebra, vector differential  and integral calculus, and complex function theory in preparation for applications in engineering and science.  In linear algebra the student will learn matrix algebra, matrix inversion, eigen pairs, diagonalizing matrices, and classes of matrices.  In vector calculus the student will learn vector fields, divergence, curl, Greens Theorem, Divergence Theorem, Stokes Theorem, and how to apply these topics.  In complex function theory the student will learn complex numbers and their representations, analytic functions, complex integrals, Cauchy's Theorem, Taylor Series, Laurent Series, residues, and complex integration techniques as needed for special functions, transforms, and further studies.

 

            Course Description:

This is an advanced undergraduate and first year graduate course introducing linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and complex function theory.  The emphasis will be solution techniques of classical problems in these topic areas as a bridge to further work.
