Introduction to Dirichlet series and Dirichlet characters, Poisson summation, Gauss sums, analytic continuation for Dirichlet L-functions, applications to prime numbers (e.g., prime number theorem, Dirichlet's theorem). Prerequisites: Complex analysis ( Math 106 or 116), Math 152 (or comparable familiarity with the Euclidean algorithm, multiplicative group modulo n, and quadratic reciprocity), and experience with basic analysis arguments.
Terms: Aut | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Math, WAY-FR

MATH 158: Probability and Stochastic Differential Equations for Applications (CME 298)

Calculus of random variables and their distributions with applications. Review of limit theorems of probability and their application to statistical estimation and basic Monte Carlo methods. Introduction to Markov chains, random walks, Brownian motion and basic stochastic differential equations with some applications in science and/or engineering.

Terms: Spr | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: WAY-FR
Instructors: Adhikari, A. (PI)

MATH 159: Discrete Probabilistic Methods

Modern discrete probabilistic methods suitable for analyzing discrete structures of the type arising in number theory, graph theory, combinatorics, computer science, information theory and molecular sequence analysis. Prerequisite: STATS 116/ MATH 151 or equivalent. Typically in alternating years.
Terms: Aut | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: WAY-FR

MATH 161: Set Theory

Informal and axiomatic set theory: sets, relations, functions, and set-theoretical operations. The Zermelo-Fraenkel axiom system and the special role of the axiom of choice and its various equivalents. Well-orderings and ordinal numbers; transfinite induction and transfinite recursion. Equinumerosity and cardinal numbers; Cantor's Alephs and cardinal arithmetic. Open problems in set theory. Prerequisite: Math 56 or comfort with proof-writing.
Last offered: Autumn 2022 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Math, WAY-FR

MATH 171: Fundamental Concepts of Analysis

Recommended for Mathematics majors and required of honors Mathematics majors. A more advanced and general version of Math 115, introducing and using metric spaces. Properties of Riemann integrals, continuous functions and convergence in metric spaces; compact metric spaces, basic point set topology. Prerequisite: Math 61CM, or 61DM, or Math 51 and Math 115. WIM
Terms: Aut, Spr | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Math, WAY-FR

MATH 172: Lebesgue Integration and Fourier Analysis

Similar to 205A, but for undergraduate Math majors and graduate students in other disciplines. Topics include Lebesgue measure on Euclidean space, Lebesgue integration, L^p spaces, the Fourier transform, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and Lebesgue differentiation. Prerequisite: 171 or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Math, WAY-FR
Instructors: Sun, W. (PI)

MATH 173: Theory of Partial Differential Equations

A rigorous introduction to PDE accessible to advanced undergraduates. Elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations in many space dimensions including basic properties of solutions such as maximum principles, causality, and conservation laws. Methods include the Fourier transform as well as more classical methods. The Lebesgue integral will be used throughout, but a summary of its properties will be provided to make the course accessible to students who have not had 172 or 205A. In years when Math 173 is not offered, Math 220 is a recommended alternative (with similar content but a different emphasis). Prerequisite: 171 or equivalent.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: WAY-FR
Instructors: Sussman, E. (PI)

MATH 175: Elementary Functional Analysis

Linear operators on Hilbert space. Spectral theory of compact operators; applications to integral equations. Elements of Banach space theory. Prerequisite: 115 or 171.
Terms: Win | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Math, WAY-FR
