| DESCRIPTION | This course will focus on mathematical methods, with specific concern about construction, analysis, and interpretation of mathematical models that shed light on significant problems in materials science and engineering. There are many courses that present collection of math techniques, but this course will be different: typically, we will use a “case-study” approach, i.e., select a series of important scientific problems, whose solution will involve some useful mathematics. We will start with the scientific background, then formulate relevant mathematical problem with care. The formulation step is usually more challenging than just learning the mathematics. Through the case studies, useful math techniques will be introduced naturally. Some typical case studies include: collective motions and aggregations, heat conduction and elasticity of materials, charge transport, plasmonic effects and bio-chemical kinetics, etc. |

| DESCRIPTION | This course focuses on using various approaches to perform quantitative analysis through real-world examples. Students will learn how to use different tools in an interdisciplinary project and how to acquire new skills on their own. The course offers different modules that are multidisciplinary/multifunctional and generally applicable to a wide class of problems. May be graded PP. |

| DESCRIPTION | This course is the first of a year-long sequence of two courses in one-variable calculus, intended for first year undergraduate students with strong mathematical background. Besides the understanding of foundational concepts and practical skills in applying calculus, the course put emphasis on rigorous reasoning of practical facts and the proof of certain mathematical theorems. Topics include approximation, continuity, limit, differentiation, high order approximations and differentiation, and applications to optimization, monotonicity, and convexity. |
