This course will expose students to a variety of techniques useful in solving mathematics problems. The experiences gained from this course can be applied to problems arising in all fields of mathematics. The student will have the chance to see how some general techniques can be used as tools in many areas. Homework for this course will consist mostly of solving a large number of mathematics problems.
Prereq: MATH-280 or consent of instructor. (Consent will be given to students with substantial interest in problem solving, and adequate preparation.)

Topics include sets, rings, integral domains, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers and polynomials. Students may not receive credit for both MATH-615 and MATH-652.
Prereq: MATH-149 and MATH-152.
A study of the intuitive, informal geometry of sets of points in space. Topics include elementary constructions, coordinates and graphs, tessellations, transformations, problem solving, and symmetries of polygons and polyhedra.
Prereq: MATH-149 and MATH-152.
A study of the properties of integers, representation of integers in a given base, properties of primes, arithmetic functions, modulo arithmetic. Diophantine equations and quadratic residues. Consideration is also given to some famous problems in number theory.
