AMCS 5200-401 Ordinary Differential Equations Andrew Cooper TR 12:00 PM-1:29 PM After a rapid review of the basic techniques for solving equations, the course will discuss one or more of the following topics: stability of linear and nonlinear systems, boundary value problems and orthogonal functions, numerical techniques, Laplace transform methods. MATH4200401
AMCS 5461-401 Advanced Applied Probability Jiaqi Liu
Da Wu
MW 10:15 AM-11:44 AM The required background is (1) enough math background to understand proof techniques in real analysis (closed sets, uniform covergence, fourier series, etc.) and (2) some exposure to probability theory at an intuitive level (a course at the level of Ross's probability text or some exposure to probability in a statistics class). MATH5460401
AMCS 6035-001 Numerical and Applied Analysis II TR 1:45 PM-3:14 PM We will cover asymptotic methods, primarily for differential equations. In many problems of applied mathematics, there is a small parameter in the problem. Asymptotic analysis represents a collection of methods that takes advantage of the smallness of this parameter. After a brief discussion of non-dimensionalization, we will discuss regular perturbation methods, matched asymptotics, method of multiple scales, WKB approximation, and homogenization. Other topics will be discussed, time permitting. The prerequisite for this class is some familiarity with differential equations, but required background will be reviewed in class.
AMCS 6091-401 Analysis Ryan C Hynd TR 10:15 AM-11:44 AM Real analysis: general measure theory, outer measures and Cartheodory construction, Hausdorff measures, Radon-Nikodym theorem, Fubini's theorem, Hilbert space and L2-theory of the Fourier transform. Functional analysis: normed linear spaces, convexity, the Hahn-Banach theorem, duality for Banach spaces, weak convergence, bounded linear operators, Baire category theorem, uniform boundedness principle, open mapping theorem, closed graph theorem, compact operators, Fredholm theory, interpolation theorems, Lp-theory for the Fourier transform.
