MATH 230 - Honors Calculus
Credits: 4
Honors calculus covers the standard curriculum of calculus 1 and 2, such as continuity, derivatives, integrals, infinite sequences and series, and the standard transcendental functions. However, in honors calculus we focus on carefully and conceptually understanding all the definitions, theorems and techniques. In particular, instead of focusing on computations, we emphasize proofs and rigor and students taking honors calculus are expected to understand and write proofs. Furthermore, in addition to the standard curriculum, we will cover more advanced material not usually covered in an elementary calculus course. Prerequisites: Credit for calculus 1 and a strong record of excellent performance in mathematics courses. As a minimum, new freshman students should have a score of 5 on the AP calculus (AB) exam, a score of 4 or 5 on the AP calculus (BC) exam, or a score of 6 or 7 on the IB Math HL, or a grade of B or better in a Calculus 1 course taken at a college while in high school; existing and transfer students with a good grade in Calculus 1 (such as A- or A) are welcome to take 230 and should receive consent of the instructor. Offered every fall.

MATH 247 - Introduction to Data Science
Credits: 4
This course will provide a broad overview of data science’s different areas, from statistics, machine learning to data engineering and many data science applications. The course teaches critical concepts and skills in computer programming and statistical inference, in conjunction with hands-on analysis of real-world datasets, including economic data, document collections, geographical data, and social networks. This course is designed to provide a non-technical introduction to the data science approach. It is intended both for students from non-quantitative fields and those from a quantitative field who are interested in data science. The prerequisite for this course includes working knowledge in high school math (Math 108 or equivalent), a course in introductory statistics (at the level of Math 147, Math 148 or AP statistics with grade 3+, or equivalent). Offered regularly.

MATH 329 - Intro to Scientific Computing
Credits: 2
The course will familiarize students to tools for scientific computing and graphics using R. The course will start with a basic introduction to the R language. Students will learn the basics of programming such as writing functions in R, loops, reproducibility, graphics, data management, storage and retrieval. The course will also cover topics such as random number generation, matrix calculations, data simulation and numerical optimizations. The goal is to provide students with background in R so that they can start using R in their research and other advanced courses. No prior programming experience is required. Prerequisites: C or better in MATH 304 and MATH 323, or consent of instructor. Offered each semester.
