This course studies the process of creating models for real world applications from a wide variety of areas such as physics, chemistry, biology, economics and social sciences. It introduces the students to the basics of mathematical modeling with a focus on model construction, fitting and optimization, analysis, evaluation, and application. This course will make use of computer software in developing models.
