and electrical networks. They are much easier to treat than partial differential equations, whose
unknown functions depend on two or more than two independent variables.

MCC-703 APPLIED DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND MODELING


Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objectives of the Course:
The student being introduced to dimensional analysis for the first time is always amazed by the
demonstration, without recourse to full physical analysis, that the period of oscillation of a
simple pendulum must be proportional to the square root of the pendulum length and
independent of its mass. The rationale for this relationship is, of course, based on the simple
argument that each term of a “properly” constructed physical equation needs to be dimensionally
homogeneous with the others. Likewise, the student is also impressed by the application of such
results to predicting full-scale behavior from measurements using a scale model. From this

92
simple example, dimensional arguments can be taken to increasing levels of complexity, and can
be applied to a wide range of situations in science and engineering.
Course Outlines:
Mathematical Preliminaries, Formats and Classification, Dimensional Systems, Transformation
of Dimensions, Arithmetic of Dimensions, Dimensional Homogeneity, Structure of Physical
Relations, Systematic Determination of Complete Set of Products of Variables, Transformations,
Number of Sets of Dimensionless Products of Variables, Dimensional Modeling.

MAC-801 DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND ERGODIC THEORY
Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
The course will provide an introduction to subject of dynamical systems, from a pure-
mathematical point of view. The first part of the course will be driven by examples so that
students will become familiar with various basic models of dynamical systems. We will then
develop the mathematical background and the main concepts in topological dynamics, symbolic
dynamics and ergodic theory.

Dynamical systems are an exciting and very active field in pure and applied mathematics, which
involves tools and techniques from many areas such as analyses, geometry and number theory. A
dynamical system can be obtained by iterating a function or letting evolve in time the solution of
equation. Even if the rule of evolution is deterministic, the long term behavior of the system is
often chaotic. Different branches of dynamical systems, in particular ergodic theory, provide
tools to quantify this chaotic behaviour and predict it in average. At the beginning of this lecture
course we will give a strong emphasis on presenting many fundamental examples of dynamical
systems, such as circle rotations, the baker map on the square and the continued fraction map.
Driven by the examples, we will introduce some of the phenomena and main concepts which one
is interested in studying. In the second part of the course, we will formalize these concepts and
cover the basic definitions and some fundamental theorems and results in topological dynamics,
in symbolic dynamics and in particular in ergodic theory. We will give full proofs of some of the
main theorems. During the course we will also mention some applications both to other areas of
mathematics, such as number theory, and to very concrete problems as data storage and Internet
search engines.
Course Outlines:
Basic notions: dynamical system, orbits, fixed points and fundamental questions;
Basic examples of dynamical systems: circle rotations; expanding maps of the circle and the shift
map; the Baker‟s map; the CAT map and toralautomorphisms; the Gauss transformation and
Continued Fractions. Topological Dynamics: basic metric spaces notions, transitivity,
minimality; topological conjugacy; topological mixing; topological entropy. Symbolic
Dynamics: Shift and Subshifts spaces, topological dynamical properties of shift spaces, symbolic
coding, coding of the CAT map. Ergodic Theory: basic measure theory notions; invariant
measures, Poincare recurrence, ergodicity using Fourier series, mixing, ergodic theorems
(Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem, ergodic theorem for Markov chains); applications to Internet Search

algorithms developed. We will also examine issues of problem sensitivity and algorithmic
stability and ways to improve efficiency by taking advantage of special matrix structures.
In each case, we will also study the computational tools underlying the algorithm (generally,
techniques for matrix factorization and for introducing zeros into a matrix). Emphasis will be on
dense linear algebra although we will introduce sparse linear algebra as class interest and time
permit.

MAC-906 MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY


Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
Mathematical biology is a fast-growing, well-recognized, albeit not clearly defined, subject and
is, to my mind, the most exciting modern application of mathematics. The increasing use of
mathematics in biology is inevitable as biology becomes more quantitative. The complexity of
the biological sciences makes interdisciplinary involvement essential. For the mathematician,
biology opens up new and exciting branches, while for the biologist, mathematical modeling
offers another research tool commensurate with a new powerful laboratory technique but only if
used appropriately and its limitations recognized. However, the use of esoteric mathematics
arrogantly applied to biological problems by mathematicians who know little about the real
biology, together with unsubstantiated claims as to how important such theories are, do little to
promote the interdisciplinary involvement which is so essential. Mathematical biology research,
to be useful and interesting, must be relevant biologically. The best models show how a process
works and then predict what may follow. If these are not already obvious to the biologists and
the predictions turn out to be right, then you will have the biologists‟ attention. Suggestions as to
what the governing mechanisms are may evolve from this. Genuine interdisciplinary research
and the use of models can produce exciting results, many of which are described in this study.

MAC-907 COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS


Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
The field of computational fluid dynamics has a broad range of applicability.The first step
involves the specification of the problem, including the geometry, flowconditions, and the
requirements of the simulation. The geometry may result from measurements of an existing
configuration or may be associated with a design study. Alternatively, in a design context, no
geometry need be supplied. Instead, a set of objectives and constraints must be specified. Flow
conditions might include, for example, the Reynolds number and Mach number for the flow over
an airfoil. The requirements of the simulation include issues such as the level of accuracy
needed, the turnaround time required, and the solution parameters of interest. It is generally
accepted that the phenomena of importance to the field of continuum fluid dynamics are
governed by the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy.

electrical properties of real materials, as well as in the description of rheological properties of

from it. For example, the crucial notion of linearity, and linear algebra, which is a practical
necessity in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Finance, Economics, Engineering and so on, is built on
the notion of a vector space, which is a special kind of ring module.

MPC-955 ADVANCED MEASURE THEORY


Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
It generalizes the concept of the integral. Typically, the integral is introduced as the area under a
given curve. Area is just a single specific example of a 'measure' -- there are many others. This
course familiarize the student with the concept of, Riemann Integrals for continuous functions,
Lebesgue Integral, Lebesgue measure etc. This course in general is roughly making sense of
“Integration” for function more general than just the continuous one.
Course Outlines:
Measure, Measurable Sets, Non-Measurable Set, Measurable Functions, Elementary properties
of Measurable Functions, Lebesgue Measure on Euclidean Spaces, Two Properties of the
Lebesgue Measure, Measurable and Lebesgue Integrable Functions on Euclidean Spaces, The
Convergence Theorem, Comparison of the Lebesgue Integral with the Riemann Integrals, The
Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem, Convergence in Measure, The space L1 of
integrable functions, The Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, The Lebesgue differentiation
theorem, Littlewood's three principles, Fubini‟s theorem and its Applications.
