MATH 344 MATH STATISTICS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 342. This course provides an intermediate level treatment of frequency distributions, statistical measures, sampling
techniques, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance and regression and correlation analyses. The use of graphing calculator/computer should
be expected.
MATH 350 PRAXIS II MATHEMATICS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 226 and MATH 228 and MATH 305 and MATH 320 and COSC 112. The main purpose of this course is to prepare
students for the PRAXIS II mathematics content exam required by the state of Maryland for teacher certification in the teaching specialty of
secondary mathematics. The material covered in this course ranges from topics in basic arithmetic, elementary algebra, geometry and
trigonometry to topics in calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, computer algorithms and the principles of mathematical modeling.

MATH 365 INTRODUCTION TO REVERSE ENGINEERING 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 265. This algebra-based course covers principles of the reverse engineering process such as definition of work scope,
exact CAD replica creation, obtained data analysis, model modification or optimization, and creation of manufacturing engineering drawings.
MATH 380 THERMODYNAMICS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite: PHYS 272. This course covers the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and physical chemistry as applied to engineering
systems. This course provides a foundation in fundamental thermodynamic phenomena, including the first and second laws of
thermodynamics, thermodynamics properties, equations of state in real and ideal gases, availability and combustion. The basic laws are used to
understand and analyze the performance and efficiency of engineering.

MATH 381 PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 108 and PHYS 272. Fundamentals of materials including the structure of metals, mechanical behavior, testing,
manufacturing properties, and physical properties are covered in this course. Metal alloys including their structure and strengthening by heat
treatment. Production, general [properties, and use of steels, nonferrous metals, polymers, ceramics, graphite, diamond, and composite
materials are also discussed.
MATH 383 ENGINEERING ECONOMY 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 181 and MATH 225. This course covers the basics of economic analysis from an engineering perspective. Because cost is
such an important component in decision-making, various techniques for comparing alternatives on an economic basis are presented. Other
topics include depreciation, inflation considerations, and cost estimating.

MATH 385 FLUID MECHANICS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 309 and MATH 380. The fundamental principles of fluid mechanics are developed, including properties of fluid, pressure
hydrostatics, dynamics of fluid flow, friction losses, momentum and energy conservation, control volume analysis, internal and external flow,
boundary layers, modern measurement techniques, computer analysis, and sizing of pipes. Emphasis is on problem solving.
MATH 400 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 300. Solutions of second order partial differential equations using Fourier and Laplace transforms.
Topics include classification of linear second order equations, Fourier series, generalized Fourier series, the Sturm-Liouville problem, heat equation,
wave equation, LaPlace's Equation, Dirichlet problem, Fourier integral, and Fourier transform. The use of graphing
calculator/computer should be expected.
MATH 410 HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 226 and MATH 320. This course traces the development of mathematics from around 1900 B.C. to around 1900
A.D. Special attention is given to the period of the Greeks (600 B.C.-200 A.D.), the period of the development of calculus (17th century), and
the period of the institution of the modern style of rigor (19th century).
MATH 414 METH FOR TEACH SEC SCH MATH 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 310 and successful completion of EDUC 220 and SCED 302. Mathematics 414 provides the Mathematics Education
Major with experience and firsthand information on the best practices, approaches, materials, and content supported by effective schools, expert
opinion and research in mathematics education i n the secondary schools. This course also includes a nine (9) day practicum in the Prince
George's Public School System, TBA by the instructor and based on the students' schedules. This course helps to prepare the student for the
student teaching experience.
MATH 420 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA I 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 305 and MATH 320. This sequence of two courses offers a rigorous introduction to modern abstract algebra. Topics
include groups, rings, fields, integral domains and the homomorphisms that operate between them.

MATH 421 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA II 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 420. This sequence of two courses offers a rigorous introduction to modern abstract algebra. Topics include groups,
rings, fields, integral domains and the homomorphisms that operate between them.
MATH 428 ADVANCED LINEAR ALGEBRA 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 305. Proceeding from a rigorous perspective, we examine the properties of finite dimensional vector spaces
over arbitrary fields and the linear transformations that operate between them.
MATH 430 ADVANCED CALCULUS I 3 CREDITS
Prerequisite(s): MATH 232 and MATH 305. This course include a rigorous treatment of the elements of point set topology, sequences and
series, continuity, differentiability, Riemann-Stieltjes integration, function sequences, and, time permitting, some special functions and Fourier
series.
