Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcome
Students should understand the topics listed in the minimal learning outcomes on the Math 547 Wiki page. As evidence of that understanding, students should be able to demonstrate mastery of all relevant vocabulary, familiarity with common examples and counterexamples, knowledge of the content of the major theorems, and ability to make direct application of those results to related problems, including calculations.
