Floating point arithmetic. Direct methods for the solution of systems of linear algebraic equations. Polynomial and piecewise polynomial approximation, orthogonal polynomials. Numerical integration: Newton Cotes formulas and Gaussian quadrature. Basic methods for initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. The emphasis throughout is on the under- standing and use of software packages for the solution of commonly occurring problems in science and engineering.

ELS 620 is the first course in a two-part sequence that presents concepts and procedures for conducting systematic inquiry to investigate phenomena in classrooms and schools to ensure learning excellence. Emphasis is placed on developing a proposal for disciplined inquiry in classrooms or schools that will be conducted in ELS 621, the second course in the sequence.

ELS 624 is a field-based practicum to explore distributed leadership roles and responsibilities for monitoring assessments and accountability results to guide decisions about curricular or instructional modifications. Students work closely with school principal and leadership team at a P-12 school to examine specific site issue and provide recommendations for action.

This course introduces legal concerns for public school teachers. It emphasizes legal rights and responsibilities of both teachers and pupils. Course coverage includes an introduction to governance, liability, church and state, instructional issues, student rights, student discipline, student abuse, teacher rights, and teacher discipline.
