MATH 3605 - Introduction to Modeling and Simulation

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of mathematical modeling and simulation through the formulation, analysis, and testing of mathematical models in a variety of areas. Emphasis is on the use of elementary functions to investigate and analyze applied problems and questions, supported using appropriate technology, and on effective communication of quantitative concepts and results. Throughout the course, computational tools are used to implement, examine, and validate these models. Offered upon sufficient student demand. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Transform real-world problems into mathematical form (model). 2. Compute solutions, either exact or approximate, to mathematical models. 3. Translate model solutions back to the real-world context. 4. Assess the quality and reliability of mathematical models. 5. Develop logical reasoning, and quantitative skills. 6. Interpret and communicate their analyses in written and oral form. Prerequisites: MATH 1210 (Grade C or higher). FA (odd)
