Calculus II
MATH 0122

Calculus II A continuation of MATH 0121, may be elected by first-year students who have had an introduction to analytic geometry and calculus in secondary school. Topics include a brief review of natural logarithm and exponential functions, calculus of the elementary transcendental functions, techniques of integration, improper integrals, applications of integrals including problems of finding volumes, infinite series and Taylor's theorem, polar coordinates, ordinary differential equations.

Mathematical Modeling
MATH 0315

Mathematical modeling An introduction into the process of developing and interpreting mathematical models within the framework of numerous applications. In this course, we will utilize discrete, continuous, and probabilistic approaches to explore applications such as population dynamics, epidemiology, and neuron activity. Time permitting, we may also introduce the derivation of spatiotemporal models. MATLAB will be used to implement and analyze several of these models.

Operations Research
ECON 0318

Operations Research Operations research is the utilization of quantitative methods as an aid to managerial decisions. In the course, several of these methods will be introduced and studied in both a mathematical context and a physical context. Topics included will be selected from the following: classification of problems and the formulation of models, linear programming, network optimization, transportation problems, assignment problems, integer programming, nonlinear programming, inventory theory, and game theory.

Advanced Math Modeling Seminar
MATH 0715

Advanced Mathematical Modeling Seminar A tutorial on advanced mathematical model building and analysis for students who have completed work in Differential Equations and Probability. We will study deterministic and stochastic models of interacting populations with a focus on mathematical ecology and epidemiology. Working independently and in small groups, students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights in expository writing and oral presentations. Fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. (Approval Only) 3 hrs. Sem.

Professor has an interesting teaching style. Homework is to be expected every night but exams are not too difficult and there are ways to gain extra points after the exam. Weekly quizzes are also involved.

Professor Olinick is kind, helpful, and has a great sense of humor that lightens up his Calculus lectures. While the lectures can be a bit dry, they’re clear, align well with homework, and are easy to follow. He offers frequent office hours, shares homework hints online, provides answer keys in class, and posts realistic sample exams—making his course very manageable.

Olinick was a thoughtful and caring professor, however, the class was structured in a way that the entire grade relies on 4 exams. Each exam is quite challenging but Olinick offers practice tests and a notesheet on each exam. Overall, if you put in the work and do the homework you should be more than fine.
