MATH 4334 - Mathematical Modeling and Applications

Credits: 3

A survey of methods used to describe and analyze real-world problems using mathematics. Covers aspects the acquisition, characteristics, and visualization of data; simple methods of identifying relationships including regression, scaling arguments, and dimensional analysis; the formulation of ODE and PDE models using conservation laws and the continuum hypothesis; and model testing and evaluation. Applications vary, but may include vibrations, traffic flow, population dynamics, and optimization. Prerequisites: C- or higher in MATH 3313 and MATH 3315/CS 3365.
