Degrees
- M.S. Texas Tech University, Mathematics and Statistics,1999
- Ph.D. Texas Tech University, Mathematics and Statistics,2003
Courses Taught
- This course is an introduction to the concepts of integration. It covers the integration of algebraic and transcendental functions. Topics include the anti-derivative, the definite integral, areas, volumes, applications, the improper integral, infinite sequences and series, Taylor’s Theorem. MAT 302 has a computer laboratory component. Students utilize computer software such as graphing packages, a computer algebra system, and a mathematical word processor to complete laboratory assignments associated with their calculus course.
Prerequisite: MAT 301
Course Syllabus - This is the third course of a three-semester integrated study of analytic geometry and the concepts of differential and integral calculus. In this course the student is introduced to multivariable functions, with derivatives and integrals, and their applications. Topics include limits, derivatives (partial and directional), the gradient, double and triple integrals, alternate coordinate systems and derivatives and integrals in those coordinates, vector fields and their operators, the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, Green’s Theorem, and applications. MAT 303 has a computer laboratory component. Students utilize computer software such as graphing packages, a computer algebra system, and a mathematical word processor to complete laboratory assignments associated with their calculus course.
Prerequisite: MAT 302
Course Syllabus - This course covers matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, Boolean algebra, switching circuits, Boolean functions, minimal forms, Karnaugh maps.
Prerequisite: MAT 302, or permission of the department
