Mathematical Modeling

3 Units

The course is organized as along the following three major themes: (1)Optimization (2)Dynamical modeling (3)Probabilistic methods. These themes represents important mathematical tools for modeling. Starting with practical problems we shall develop mathematical models within each category and analyze them using rigorous and numerical methods. Sensitivity analysis (dependence of the solution on given data) will be an important part of the interpretation of the solution. Counts as a Disciplinary Communication course. Prereq: MATH 224 or MATH 228 .
