MATH 050 - Dots, Lines, and Coin Flips 3 NS, QPf
Second Semester. An introduction to two important ways of describing the world mathematically. Graphs model maps and networks—road, telephone, computer, social. Probability theory describes the order that can lurk in random phenomena. Using both these tools, we will examine questions like: How random is the stock market? How tightly is the World Wide Web connected? Are there just six degrees of separation? Note: This course does not count toward a major in Mathematics. It is intended for students who have not satisfied the quantitative proficiency requirement.
Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 30.
