MAD-MATHEMATICS: DISCRETE

MAD 3107        Discrete Mathematics and Applications . . . . . 3(F,S,SS)
Prerequisite: COT 3100 or MHF 3202
Introductory combinatorics, counting, graphs and trees, and their applications; relations and partial orders; some algorithms associated with applications of graphs, trees, and relations. (General Studies Course: MAT) and (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math)

MAD 4401        Numerical Analysis . . . . . 3(F)
Prerequisite: MAS 3105
Numerical solutions of equations in one variable, interpolation and polynomial approximation, numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solutions of initial value and boundary value problems for O.D.E., direct methods for solving linear systems, iterative techniques in matrix algebra. Some problems solved with aid of computer. A computer language is required prior to this course. (Gordon Rule Course: Theoretical Math)

MAD 4605        Coding Theory . . . . . 3(SS)
Prerequisite: MAS 3105
Explores coding theory from a mathematical viewpoint. Focuses mainly on binary codes and codes over fields of characteristic 2. Introduces error-detecting and error-correcting codes and the construction, encoding and decoding of certain families of codes important in engineering and computer science. Offered concurrently with MAD 5608; graduate students will be assigned additional work
