Mathematical Modeling: Construction and Validation

Catalog description

This course provides students an introductory background in model building and verification. Students will learn how to build various types of models from first principles. These models may include discrete time dynamical systems, continuous time dynamical systems, and graph theoretic models. In order to verify and validate models, this course will explore topics that may include: one variable and multivariable optimization, sensitivity analysis, steady state analysis, stability analysis, and phase portraits. Students will utilize industry-standard software for simulations.
