Mathematics is deeply rooted in philosophical inquiry. In this course, we will discuss historical and modern perspectives on the philosophical foundations of mathematics. Topics will be chosen from logic, mathematical ways of knowing, existence of mathematical objects, mathematical paradoxes, and ethics in mathematics. This course is designed for a general audience, and no particular mathematical background is required.
This course continues the development of concepts and skills that will enable students to interpret and reason with quantitative information. This course is only open to education majors and secondary education minors.

An introduction to cryptography and cryptanalysis. In the course, we will study the mathematics behind encryption and decryption. We will explore various techniques used to encrypt plaintext, to decipher intercepted ciphertext, and methods used to increase the security of encryption.
This course explores the development of methods to approximate the solutions to differential equations, zeros of functions, solutions to linear systems of equations, as well as analysis of errors involved in using these methods.
An introduction to statistics. Topics include exploratory data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics. Both classical, and bootstrapping and randomization approaches to inferential analysis are taken.
An introduction to the major mathematical methods of operations research. Included are linear programs and methods of solutions, network flow models, markov chains and game theory.
A study of algebraic structures and their properties with an emphasis on mathematical writing and the construction of proofs. Topics include groups, rings, fields, homomorphisms, cosets, and quotients.
This course focuses on the teaching and learning of mathematics at the secondary level, using geometry as a primary context. Students will revisit and strengthen their understanding of geometric concepts while exploring geometry as an axiomatic system and examining its historical development. Emphasis is placed on mathematical reasoning, proof, and effective communication of mathematical ideas in the classroom. Students will practice teaching mathematics through geometry-based lessons and activities and will use mathematical software to model and visualize geometric concepts. The course also introduces non-Euclidean geometries, including spherical and hyperbolic geometry.
