MATH 4791

Continuous Modeling

Every other year. Surveys mathematical problems that arise in natural sciences and engineering. Topics may include population models, epidemic models, mechanics, heat transfer and diffusion, tomography, pharmaco-kinetics, traffic flow, fractal models, wave phenomena, and natural resource management. Most models discussed are based on differential and integral equations. Emphasis is formulation and validation of models as well as methods of solution. Note: This course assumes that students have taken MATH 3191 and MATH 3200. Students who have a grade of B- or better in MATH 3191 and MATH 3200 pass this course at a much higher rate.
