Mathematics 4000 Series
4111 TOPOLOGY
An introduction to the study of metric and topological spaces, convergence, and continuous functions.

Prereq: Mathematics 3111; or permission of the Department.

Note: Not available for credit for students who have completed Mathematics 4110.

4131 COMPLEX VARIABLES WITH APPLICATIONS
This course is designed primarily for students i n mathematics, physics, or engineering. It covers analytic functions, Cauchy-Riemann equations, conformal mapping, complex integrals, Cauchy's integral theorem, Taylor and Laurent Series, residues, evaluation of real integrals, and inverse transforms.
Prereq: Mathematics 2111; 2121; or permission of the Department.

4141 MEASURE AND INTEGRATION
Topology of Rn, Lebesque Measure, Measurable Functions, the Lebesque integral, the convergence theorems and products measures. As time permits, other topics such as abstract measure theory, Lp-spaces and absolute continuity will be covered.
Prereq: Mathematics 3110; or permission of the Department.

4151 BOUNDARY AND EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS
This course is designed primarily for students in mathematics, physics, or engineering. It extends the material studied in Mathematics 3131. Topics include separation of variables (product method), generalized Fourier series, Sturm-Liouville theory, Legendre polynomials, Bessel Functions, Green's functions, and calculus of variations.
Prereq: Mathematics 3131; or permission of the Department.

4161 TOPICS IN CLASSICAL APPLIED MATHEMATICS
This course covers selected topics in Classical Applied Mathematics, depending on the background and interests of the students involved.
Prereq: Mathematics 4131 and 4151; or permission of the Department.

4211 TOPICS IN ALGEBRA
This course covers selected topics in Algebra, depending on the background and interests of the students involved.
Prereq: Mathematics 3221; or permission of the Department.

4221 MODERN ALGEBRA II
The classical theory of fields and rings and their applications.
Prereq: Mathematics 3211; or permission of the Department.

4311 TOPICS IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS
This course covers selected topics in Probability and Statistics, depending on the background and interests of the students involved.
Prereq: Mathematics 3311 and 3321; or permission of the Department.

4431 DYNAMICS OF NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS
This course introduces the student to an important modern mathematical approach to a variety of physical problems that have a characteristic behaviour related mainly to the non-linearity of the underlying equations that explain the phenomena. Topics to be studied include fractals, chaotic dynamics, time series analysis, vector fields and flows, and maps.
Prereq: Physics 2251 and 2701; Mathematics 3431; or permission of the Department.
Note: This course is cross-listed as Physics 4431 and may therefore count as a three unit credit in either discipline.

4631 THEORY OF COMPUTATION
This course is an introduction to theoretical aspects of Computer Science such as formal language and automata theory and complexity theory.

Prereq: Mathematics 2211 and Computer Science 1721; or permission of the Department.

Note: This course is cross listed as Computer Science 4631and may therefore count as three credits in either discipline.

4951 SPECIAL TOPICS IN MATHEMATICS
This course enables students to pursue their interests in areas not covered by other classes offered at the 4000 level. It usually involves independent study in a programme planned by the student and approved by the Department.
