MATH 4791 - Continuous Modeling

Every other year. Surveys mathematical problems that arise in natural sciences and engineering. Topics may include population models, epidemic models, mechanics, heat transfer and diffusion, tomography, pharmaco-kinetics, traffic flow, fractal models, wave phenomena, and natural resource management. Most models discussed are based on differential and integral equations. Emphasis is formulation and validation of models as well as methods of solution. Prereq: MATH 3191 and 3200. Cross-listed with MATH 5791. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
