M331 Introduction to Mathematical Modeling

Prerequisites: M160Co-requisites: M161

The department of mathematics is offering a new course in mathematical modeling as of Fall 2000.This is an introductory course and is designed to be of interest to both majors and non-majors.Diverse applications and techniques of mathematical modeling will be covered.Topics will be selected from the following outline: 

For students interesting in continuing their study of mathematics this course counts towards the new concentration in computational mathematics.Also, we plan to field a team in the 2001 mathematical modeling competition, for example problems see The Mathematical Contest in Modeling: Sample Problems.For more information please contact Professor Kirby, Department of Mathematics, kirby@math.colostate.edu.
