Ezra Halleck’s Profile
Combinatorics: algebraic, enumerative and geometric
Ezra Halleck teaches courses traditionally thought of as first and second year courses such as statistics, linear algebra and differential equations. He has a particular interest in getting students to experience the power of mathematics both as a subject in its own right and as a tool for other disciplines. He did his graduate work under the tutelage of Adriano Garsia at University of California, San Diego.
My Courses
MAT1372 Statistics with Probability, FA2022
A 3 credit but 4 hour introductory course. Topics include sample space, expectation and variance, binomial, Poisson, normal, student and chi-square distributions, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression. Students do a group project comparing 2 numeric variables and present at the end of the semester. The extra classroom hour is designed to facilitate a hands-on feel to the course including a heavy use of MS Excel and/or R.
This course is designed to prepare students for the study of Calculus. Topics include an in-depth study of functions such as polynomial functions, inverse functions, radical functions, rational functions, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions; solving inequalities; elements of vectors and complex numbers; solving trigonometric equations and identities involving sum, double and half-angle formulas; Binomial Theorem; and progressions. A graphing calculator is required.
MAT2440 Discrete Struc I, SP2019
This course introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics as they apply to computer science, focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work. Topics include functions, relations, sets, simple proof techniques, Boolean algebra, propositional logic, elementary number theory, writing, analyzing and testing algorithms.
