Introduces the tools of statistical analysis. Combines theory with extensive data collection and computer-assisted laboratory work. Develops an attitude of mind accepting uncertainty and variability as part of problem analysis and decision-making. Topics include: exploratory data analysis and data transformation, hypothesis-testing and the analysis of variance, simple and multiple regression with residual and influence analyses.

Functions Modeling Change provides the algebraic and geometric skills needed to succeed in a Calculus course. The central topic is functions (in particular linear, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic), function notation and graphs, transformations, composition and inverses. Students also work with computers building mathematical models based on these functions, and implemented using graphing calculators, mathematical software and Excel.

This course is designed to extend the statistical analysis of environmental and social science data: it will highlight the building blocks of multivariate analysis from the definition of the research problem to the interpretation of the results. Both dependence methods (that is in which one or several variables can be expressed in terms of the others – for instance Multivariate Analysis of Variance or Discriminant Analysis) and interdependence methods (where all the variables are analysed simultaneously – for instance Factor & Cluster Analyses or Multidimensional Scaling) will be studied.
Significant applications will be analysed and discussed so as to develop new insights.
Projects (individual or with peers), will allow the students to apply the multivariate models, thereby enhancing the importance of work and knowledge sharing.
Statistical software package: SPSS.
Prerequisite: MA 1020

Applied Differential Equations takes the study of differential equations, begun in Calculus 1, to the next level, and further allows students a first meeting with difference equations.
The first, and larger part of the course, deals with differential equations (DE's) -- linear and non-linear DE's; first and higer-order DE's and systems of DE's; ordinary DE's and partial DE's. Examples come from population dynamics (in various species), hydrostatic equations for water and air, wave equations (for example sound waves, water waves, seismic waves,...)
The second part of the course looks at difference equations, with both time and space differencing connections with differentiation; solutions (numerically as well as algebraically); analysis of solutions in terms of convergence and stability. The one-way wave equation (advection equation) is looked at in more detail.
