What You'll Gain

  • Deep understanding of analytic arguments, using such common notions as epsilon/delta, infinite sums, and limits, and expand this to include such considerations for more general spaces than the real numbers, such as spaces of functions
  • Basic understanding of measure theory and the ability to use it to study the Lebesgue integral
  • Deep understanding of basic algebraic and discrete notions, such as facts about vector spaces and counting arguments, and expand this to include ideas about rings and fields
  • Understanding of the fundamentals of computer science and the application of mathematics to computer programming and/or software engineering
