Course description.The course will be problem- and data-driven, and students will be expected to attack open problems from a variety of areas including engineering, physics, biology and economics. It will also focus on critical analysis of the quality of a model, and effective verbal and written exposition of solutions. Most of the course content will be a single project that you will explore with two or three of your fellow classmates. Please visit the project archives to see some examples. Students will have a variety of resources available to
them.
Essentially, you can use anything you need to get the job done.
One unique aspect of this course is the MEC lab, a laboratory for
doing small, careful mathematical experiments. Thus, mathematical
analysis, computations and experimentation are all in play with this
course. Prerequisites:
A 300-level course in differential equations. Course benefits:
