The course PHYS 3100 offers a study of classical mechanics from a more advanced perspective than freshman physics, with particular emphasis on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. Topics include a review of Newtonian mechanics and the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, as well as the study of the calculus of variations, Lagrange’ s equations, two bodies central force problems, mechanics in non-inertial frames, rigid bodies, Hamiltonian mechanics, collision theory.

Preparation for teaching an advanced mathematics curriculum with a focus on the processes of mathematical argumentation and reasoning, deduction, and discovery. Topics include propositional and firstorder logic, axiomatic approach to number theory, set theory and abstract properties of relations, with a particular emphasis on number theory.

Fundamental economic ideas and the operation of the economy on a national scale. Production distribution and consumption of goods and services, the exchange process, the role of government, the national income and its distribution, GDP, consumption function, savings function, investment spending, the multiplier principle and the influence of government spending on income and output. Analysis of monetary policy, including the banking system and the Federal Reserve System.

A project-based introduction to computational thinking and problem solving. Covers a wide range of topics, including data visualization, statistical techniques, simulations of dynamical systems, computational techniques to understand data, using regression to fit models to data, as well as an introduction to some more advanced topics: Monte Carlo simulations, optimization, dynamic programming, image processing, natural language processing, geospatial data analysis and current data science.
