MATH 420 (Mathematical Modeling)
| DESCRIPTION |
The course will develop skills in mathematical modeling
through practical
experience. Students will work in groups on specific projects involving
real-life problems that are accessible to their existing mathematical
backgrounds.
In addition to the development of mathematical models, effective oral
and
written presentation of the results will be emphasized. |
| PREREQUISITES |
MATH 241, 246, and either 240 or 461; STAT 400 |
| TOPICS |
The main objective of this course is to learn from experience the
various
aspects of the modeling process, including:
Formulating and refining a mathematical model
Mathematical and computational analysis of
the model
Oral and written communication of the
results
Mathematical techniques discussed will be motivated by problems from
areas such as physics, biology, economics, etc. |
