This course introduces various techniques of modeling a variety of real world problems. The techniques cover a spectrum of discrete and continuous, linear and non-linear models and illustrate the use of mathematical software as an aid to simulating and testing models. Applications will come from such diverse areas as production planning, finance, transportation, environmental and health related issues.

Prerequisites: MATH2070, STAT3150, MATH3400 and ASCI 4140 (or concurrent) 3 Credits
