MATH 4020 - Mathematical Modeling

An introduction to the methods of mathematical modeling. The major aim of this course is to teach the formulation of mathematical problems from real world practical situations. The representation of a practical or scientific problem in mathematical terms may give a more precise understanding of its significant properties, and may allow prediction of future events. Case studies considered will involve many areas of application and several different mathematical techniques. The computer will be used as a tool in pursuing some of these problems. This course is approved as a writing-intensive course which may fulfill the baccalaureate-level writing requirement of the student’s curriculum.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 3740 and a computer programming course.
