MATH 4334 - Mathematical Modeling and Applications

Credits: 3

A survey of methods used to understand real-world systems using mathematics. Covers aspects of 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 generally span the physical, biological, and social sciences. Prerequisites: C- or higher in MATH 3313  and MATH 3315 . MATH 3302  and STAT 2331 /STAT 4340 /CS 4340 /EMIS 3340 /ECE 3360  are also recommended. Students who have not taken MATH 3315  may petition the instructor to enroll in the course if they have already taken STAT 2331 /STAT 4340 /CS 4340 /EMIS 3340 /ECE 3360 .
