MATH133

Description

Section information text: Mathematical models are fundamental for understanding, predicting, and decision-making in almost every field. The goal of this course is to enable students to build mathematical models of real-world phenomena, analyze them, and make predictions about their behavior. A variety of models will be addressed with examples taken from natural and social sciences such as biology, chemistry, economics, and physics. Students are expected to actively engage in the modeling process by showing understanding and questioning the models constituents and extrapolating the presented examples to other situations. This course is project based. By the end of this course students are expected to present a report on their project with a focus on describing the modeling procedure and an analysis of the extent to which their model is accurate and its limitations.
