CSC 210 - Mathematical Modeling (=MAT 210)

Instructor
Chartier

A survey of discrete mathematical and computational modeling techniques and their application to the natural and social sciences. Mathematical tools are selected from such topics as Monte Carlo simulation, queuing theory, Markov chains, optimization, discrete dynamical systems, computational geometry, agent-based modeling, and cellular automata. Emphasis is on formulating models, investigating them analytically and computationally, and communicating the results.
