Course Description

In this course, students will be exposed to a survey of mathematical techniques used to model real world problems. Topics include finite difference equations, applications of calculus and optimization, discrete-time dynamical systems, differential equations, and Monte Carlo simulations. Examples will be drawn from several areas including biology, economics, medicine, physics, and chemistry. The students will make use of Computer Algebra Systems such as MATLAB, MAPLE, or high level programming languages to implement models and to run simulations.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C-" grade in one of the following: MATH 1271, 1273, 1274, or 1275; and MATH 1252 or 2362 (MATH 1252 or 2362 may be taken concurrently). Prerequisites are valid for only three years.
