/MTH 535. Mathematical Modeling Seminar

Catalog description

Teaches how mathematics can help solve real world problems in fields such as biology, ecology, geophysics, engineering, and social sciences. The material is learned through a hands-on approach. A significant amount of class time is spent on a variety of group projects. This seminar introduces mathematical modeling as the art of using mathematics to formulate and analyze practical problems, and emphasizes usefulness of mathematics in understanding complex phenomena. A differential equations course ( MTH 245 or MTH 347 ) is recommended but not required. SC. Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in MTH 222 and in MTH 252 , or permission of instructor.
