MTH (0144) 698 - Introduction to Numerical Methods In Deterministic Models

Credits: 3.00

Students will be introduced to the mathematical study of deterministic models using modern programming languages and software. Students will learn how to construct simple time homogeneous compartmental ODE and PDE models and will explore such questions as the existence of local and global stability, well posedness, and uniqueness of solutions.

Free Note: Admission to a graduate program of study required.

Course Learning Goals:

Students will be introduced to the construction of deterministic models including: compartmental Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) models, Partial Differential Equation (PDE) models, and graphical models.
Students will learn how to choose which type of model is best suited for a particular situation.
Students will learn how to analyze such models numerically through simulation.
Students will work with advanced modeling software and programming languages such as R or MATLAB.
Students will gain experience in communicating their results.
