MATH 227 DATA ANALYSIS 4 SEM HRS ANDREWS
This introductory statistics course is designed not just for students majoring or minoring in math, but for any student who would benefit from a more substantial introduction to the field. In fact, about half of the students who have taken this class are not math majors. Students must learn general principles and techniques for summarizing and organizing data effectively, for designing observational studies and experiments, and for drawing specific inferences from such studies. Data analysis software is used daily. In addition to regular homework and periodic tests and quizzes, students are expected to collaborate on several data analysis projects, culminating in a modeling portfolio at the end of the semester.

MATH 380 TOPIC: OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES 5 SEM HRS NOYES
This topics course examines different methods of solving optimization problems. An optimization problem is a problem where one wishes to find the best solution. It typically involves maximizing or minimizing a function of one of more variables, possibly subject to some constraints on the variables. Typically these methods involve Linear Programming, Nonlinear Programming, and Unconstrained Minimization Techniques. The application models that will be solved by these methods will come from the sciences, engineering, economics, and business (operations research). This course will focus on the derivation and use of these techniques, their computer implementation, efficiency, and application to practical problems. The computer implementation will typically be done using Mathematica(R). However, C++ or FORTRAN will also be used. This course will be given for mathematics credit (MATH 380) or computer science credit (COMP 380) and should be of special interest to students in the sciences. Students are required to have a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-86 graphing calculator for use in this class. Mathematical-reasoning intensive. Grades will be based upon assignments and exams.
Prerequisites are COMP 150 and MATH 201 or permission by the instructor. MATH 205 is a co-requisite.

MATH 460 SENIOR SEMINAR 2 SEM HRS SHELBURNE
This is a capstone course for mathematics majors. Its purpose is to let participants think about and reflect on what mathematics is and to tie together their years of studying mathematics at Wittenberg. The structure of the course will be taken from the book Journey Through Genius by W. Dunham which covers the story of mathematics from the 5th century B.C.E. up to the 20th century C.E. by looking at some of the famous problems, theorems, and colorful mathematical characters who worked on them. The course is a seminar where participants are expected to research areas of interest in mathematics and present their findings to the rest of the seminar. The grade will be based on class discussions and presentations. Mathematical-reasoning intensive.
