Introduces the study of human cognition. Topics include perception, attention, memory, knowledge representation, language, problem solving, thinking, and reasoning. How is the world represented, and what are the processes underlying those representations? Considers the real-world implications of laboratory findings.
Prerequisite: 21:830:101.
Basic methods and paradigms in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. Research from areas of psychology in psychophysics, learning, memory, and perception are used to illustrate basic paradigms used in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. Students conduct experiments, analyze data, and write reports in standard psychology formats.Prerequisite: 21:830:301.
Error analysis; interpolation theory; numerical solution of equations; polynomial approximations; numerical differentiation and integration; solution of differential equations.Prerequisite: 21:640:136 or 156.
Row reduction, solving linear systems; vector spaces, subspaces, bases; linear transformations, images, and kernels; eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and diagonalization of matrices; applications to differential equations, computer graphics, and numerical calculation.Prerequisite: 21:640:136 or 156, or permission of instructor. Credit not given for both 21:640:219 and 350.
Modern probability, statistics, and statistical inference; discrete and continuous distributions of random variables, statistical inference, hypothesis testing, linear regression, and correlation.Prerequisite: 21:640:119 or 135 or 155, or permission of instructor.
Scientific study of human behavior, including historical foundations, methodology, neural base of behavior, sensation and perception, and cognition.
Note: 21:830:101 and 102 may be taken simultaneously or in either order.
Ordinary differential equations and their applications, includes solution by series; emphasis on linear equations. Applied mathematics majors should take 21:640:314 immediately after completing 21:640:136/156. Prerequisite: 21:640:136 or 156.
Sets, relations, functions, graphs, trees, formal expressions, mathematical induction, and some algebraic structures; applications to probability and computer science; and enumerative problems in combinatorial analysis.Prerequisite: 21:640:119 or 135 or 155.
Fundamentals of grammar; drills in speaking and writing. A minimum total of 10 hours of language laboratory work per semester is required of all students in Newark College of Arts and Sciences elementary language courses and is recommended for University College-Newark and New Jersey Institute of Technology.Not open to students who have had two or more years of secondary school Portuguese or are near-native speakers of the language. These students must take a placement test in the department for proper advising. Elementary Portuguese does not count toward the major/minor.
Introduction to vectors in the plane, solid analytic geometry, vectors in three dimensions, partial differentiation, multiple integrals, and applications.Prerequisite: 21:640:136 or 156.
