Math Modeling ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Mathematical Modeling looks at the world in a numerical way to gain a better understanding of how things work and interrelate. The focus of this course will be on patterns of growth. There are countless examples that will allow the course to include new or newsworthy problems each term. When will an outbreak of a disease become an epidemic? Which investment strategies give the best return? When does a species, such as the spotted owl of the great Northwest, decline to a point that it is doomed to extinction? When is a problem too big to be solved by a computer? This course contains elements which rely on vision to complete.
