Introduction

I am a senior majoring in Mathematics and minoring with specialty in Computer Science. Post calculus, I have taken linear algebra, ordinary diff. eq., partial diff. eq., abstract algebra, math 190, combinatorics, number, theory, theory of analysis 1, calc. of several variables, and discrete math (CS 236). I am taking this class because it is a part of my coherent set which also includes combinatorics and number theory. The coherence is that they will all contribute to work in information security. I don't have much experience with any CAS, but I have used Maple before. Dr. Vianey Villamizar is one of the better math instructors I've had. He is really good at exposing the motivation for certain constructions (right word?) like the Fourier transform, so that the material seems more approachable and accessible. If I were unable to come to your office hours, MWF 2-3pm, TTh anytime would work.
