Math 502 and Math 531, or equivalent. A course in linear algebra. Graduate students from outside of the mathematical department and senior undergraduate students may take this course with Instructor's approval.
This course is a 4-credit course, which means that students are expected to do at least 12.5 hours of course-related work or activity each week during the semester. This includes scheduled class lecture/discussion meeting times as well as time spent completing assigned readings, studying for tests and examinations, preparing written and computing assignments, and other course-related tasks.

1. R is chosen to be the statistical software used in this course. There are many online resources where the students can learn the basics of R.
Please install R before the beginning of the semester. In addition to R, some may find RStudio to be handy. Downloads:
Note: This is not an R class. R will not even be taught in class. You are expect to learning R programming by yourself.
