Introduction to Mathematical Modeling
Fall 2005

Everything on this course page will also be listed in the new "CLEO" environment. CLEO may also include things such as an online gradebook- I'll announce this in class. The CLEO link is:

Here's a link to our speaker's (Prof John Batholdi) website on "Bucket Brigades"

This course explores the process of building, analyzing and interpreting mathematical descriptions of real-world processes. The course introduces basic techniques, which may include such topics as data fitting, modeling with functions, discrete dynamics, differential equations, and simulation modeling.
