SCI 460 - Systems Modeling

Institution:

Subject:

Description:

Session Cycle: Fall Yearly Cycle: Annual Complex systems are characterized by a large number of locally-interacting parts which exhibit behavior qualitatively different than the individual parts. Such systems are best explored numerically, because anaytical solutions are often lacking. In this course students will explore many such systems, from meteorology and climate, to ecology, economic, and neural systems. In the global environment, there is a growing need for the understanding of complex systems at the border between order and chaos, in contexts of environment and society. Modeling exercises will be integrated throughout the course to reinforce lecture topics.
