MAT 1112 - Introduction to Math Modeling in STEM

Credits: 2
Making good decisions requires understanding the consequences of those decisions. In this course we will explore how to use various mathematical models to predict outcomes of decisions in fields as diverse as environmental conservation, business management, and engineering. Students will also gain experience using software to both analyze their models and communicate their results and recommendations. Emphasis will be on providing quantitative evidence for a decision using mathematical tools including basic probability, calculus, graph theory, and game theory.
