3.00 Credits
Analyzes the critical role that manufacturing strategy plays in determining the overall competitiveness of a business and of a nation. Macro and micro economic variables such as exchange rates and industrial financial systems will be examined along with technological and scientific policies of business and government. Prerequisites: MB214, 306.
-
3.00 Credits
Research or special project in business. Independent study provides an opportunity for a student already well grounded in an area to pursue an interest which falls outside the domain of courses offered by the department. The student should carefully define a semester's work that complements his or her background, initiate a proposal with a study sponsor, and obtain formal approval from the student's sponsor and the department chair. Application to do such work in any semester should be made and approved prior to registration for that semester. A student may or may not receive liberal arts credit for an independent study, at the discretion of both the department chair and the registrar (and, in exceptional instances, the Curriculum Committee of the College). Prerequisites: MB214, 224, 235, 306, 338, and permission of department.
-
3.00 Credits
Required seminar for students planning to write a thesis in the department. Students learn about conducting research, develop their research question, derive hypotheses, and select appropriate research methodologies. Students must complete a thesis proposal that is approved by the Department and the student's thesis advisor.
-
3.00 Credits
Students implement the thesis proposal: collect and analyze data; identify results; and project their implications for management theory, practice, and future research. The seminar prepares students for writing the final document and for the oral presentation to the department. Prerequisites: MB373 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Discussion, investigation, and analytical report on contemporary business issues.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
Professional experience at an advanced level for juniors and seniors with substantial academic experience in business. With faculty sponsorship and department approval, students may extend their educational experience into areas of business related to their academic course work. MB399 cannot be counted as one of the 300-level elective courses required of the management and business major. No student may earn more than nine semester hours of MB399. Non-liberal arts.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to mathematical reasoning in the context of studying discrete structures fundamental to both mathematics and computer science. Topics include elementary logic and sets, methods of proof including mathematical induction, algorithms and their analysis, functions and relations, elementary combinatorics, discrete probability, and graph theory. (Fulfills QR2 requirement.) Prerequisites: QR1, and CS106 or MA113, or permission of the instructor. The Department
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the theory and applications of graphs. Topics may include graphs and digraphs, connectivity, trees, Euler and Hamiltonian cycles, and graph embeddings. Prerequisite: MC115 or MC215 or MA200 or permission of instructor. Fall 2007 and alternate years. The Department
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the major theoretical models of computation. Topics include automata, nondeterminism, regular and context-free languages, Turing machines, unsolvability, and computational complexity. Prerequisite: MC115 or MC215 and CS106, or permission of instructor. Beginning in fall 2005, MC306 will have CS210 as a prerequisite. The Department
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to using computation to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical problems. A variety of algorithms are studied, as are the limitations of using computational methods. Topics include algorithms for solving equations, systems, and differential equations; approximating functions and integrals; curve fitting; round-off errors and convergence of algorithms. Prerequisites: MA111 (or both MA108 and 109), CS106, and MA200. Offered on sufficient demand. The Department
