Rationale (Explain why the change is being proposed, its relation, if any, to the major or minor program, and what curricular improvements will result.):

Our majors are constantly searching for courses, offered on a dependable schedule, to meet their 4000 level graduation requirement. This course offers a more in-depth study of a field in which our majors find interest and thus gives our majors another option from which to fill this 4000 level course requirement.

Curricular Impact Statement (What curricular trade-offs will result if this course is approved?):

This course would provide preparation to our students who wish to continue their education in graduate school as well as contribute to our goal to increase the number of 4000 level courses offered by the Mathematics department.

Teaching Resources (Explain any impact on personnel, faculty contact hours, Common Curriculum and other course offerings, and involvement in First Year Seminar.):

We do not foresee any increase in contact hours or impacts on course offerings.
