Course Information At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunites to get to know the faculty in your discipline. Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then. You can use the links to the left to read descriptions of the courses listed below. MATH 165 Topics in Modern Mathematics MATH 240 Discrete Mathematics MATH 227 Calculus II MATH 410 Discrete Topics (Graph Theory) MATH 402 Abstract algebra Optimization |
