Hypercomplex Numbers with Applications in Physics

Catalog description

This course builds on basic algebra and deals with various systems of numbers that can be constructed by adding imaginary units to the real numbers with applications in physics. The computer workshop consists of a Unix file server with x-stations running a mathematical package; this allows students to carry on computations on real numbers with the ease of a hand calculator. This course may not be used to satisfy the base curriculum requirement in Natural Sciences in any of the degree programs at Baruch College.
