Description

Introduction to the process of constructing mathematical models of real-world processes and situations. The emphasis is on seeking reasonable solutions to open-ended problems, not on the application of particular mathematical techniques. Examples will be taken from biology, finance, operations management, computer science, meteorology and other fields. Students will research a large project in teams and present a written and oral report on their results.

Note: Restricted to students in Advanced Science.
