Mathematics Science 2000 Series
2111 VECTOR CALCULUS
Topics include scalar and vector fields; directional derivatives, gradient, curl and divergence; double and triple integrals; line integrals and work; surface integrals and flux; the theorems of Green, Gauss and Stokes.

Prereq: Mathematics 1121; or permission of the Department.

2121 ELEMENTARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
This is an introduction to the techniques and applications of first and second order differential equations. Sequences and series will be presented and power series solutions of differential equations studied.

Prereq: Mathematics 1121; or permission of the Department.

2211 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
An introduction to the terminology and concepts of discrete mathematics, covering such topics as: sets, functions, induction, enumeration, graphs and trees, boolean algebras, semigroups and groups, and the design of algorithms.

Prereq: Mathematics 1111; or permission of the Department.

2221 LINEAR ALGEBRA
An introductory course in linear algebra covering such topics as linear equations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, linear transformations, inner products, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors. Whenever possible, concepts are given a geometric interpretation in two and three-dimensional space.

Prereq: Mathematics 1111; or permission of the Department.

2311 STATISTICS I
This course is designed to introduce students to some of the concepts and techniques of probability and statistics. Attention is focused on some special probability distributions including binomial, normal, Student's t, chi-square, and F. Some basic statistical ideas are developed and the testing of statistical hypotheses is introduced. Examples are drawn from a wide variety of sources. A statistical software package is introduced.

Prereq: University preparatory level Mathematics or Mathematics 1011 and either Mathematics 1111, or registration in second year; or permission of the Department. Students will not normally receive credit for both Psychology 2001 and Mathematics 2311.

2321 STATISTICS II
Further applications of hypothesis testing. Topics selected from analysis of variance, linear and nonlinear regression, correlation estimation and prediction, independence, Wilcoxon and goodness-of-fit tests.

Prereq: Mathematics 2311 or 3311; or permission of the Department.

Students will not normally receive credit for both Psychology 2101 and Mathematics 2321 or for both Economics 2701 and Mathematics 2321.
