HONORS LINEAR ALGEBRA (4) Zucker    Limit 30  Prereq:  Calculus II or III or equivalent, preferably honors.  This course includes the material in Linear Algebra (201) with some additional applications and theory. Recommended for mathematically able students majoring in physical science, engineering, or mathematics. 211-212 used to be an integrated yearlong course, but now the two are independent courses and can be taken in either order.  This course satisfies a requirement for the math major that its non-honors sibling does not.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS (4) Khosravi   Limit  25   Prereq: Calculus I, II and III    The calculus of variations is concerned with finding optimal solutions (shapes, functions, etc.) where optimality is measured by minimizing a functional (usually an integral involving the unknown functions) possibly with constraints. This introductory (self-contained) course will cover one dimensional problems (often geometric):  brachistochrone, geodesics, minimum surface area of revolution, isoperimetric problem, curvature flows. Additional material as required (some differential geometry of curves and surfaces) holding prerequisites to a minimum.
