MATH 7310 Applied Mathematics I
Applied Mathematics I
This is a first year graduate course in Applied Mathematics. A solid working knowledge of linear algebra and advanced calculus is the necessary background for this class. The topics covered include a mix of analytical and numerical methods that are used to understand models described by differential equations. We will emphasize applications from science and engineering, as they are the driving force behind each of the topics addressed.

MATH 7370 Time Series Analysis
Time Series Analysis
This course provides an introduction to time series analysis at the graduate level.  The course is about modeling based on three main families of techniques:  (i) the classical decomposition into trend, seasonal and noise components; (ii) ARIMA processes and the Box and Jenkins methodology; (iii) Fourier analysis.  If time permits, other possible topics include state space modeling and fractional processes.  The course is focused on the theory, but some key examples and applications are also covered and implemented in the software package R. 
Pre-requistites: One course from MATH 6020/7240, MATH 6040/7260 or MATH 7360; one course from MATH 7550, MATH 6050/3050 or MATH 6710/7210.  Excep
