Subject:
Mathematics
Description:
In this course, students will meet once a week to learn a variety of mathematical techniques and their applications to real world problems. The weekly class meetings will begin with a brief introduction to a mathematical concept, with the remainder of the class devoted to working in a team on a given problem. Practice problems will be drawn from those offered in the COMAP Mathematical or Interdisciplinary Contest for Modeling (MCM/ICM). Students will also have the opportunity to compete in teams of their choice in the annual MCM/ICM contest offered mid-February or AMATYC Student Research League offered end of April. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Construct mathematical models based on real-world problems. 2. Identify mathematical techniques appropriate for their models or analysis. 3. Solve interdisciplinary problems working in teams, and write a scientific report describing the mathematical model and results. 4. Demonstrate logical reasoning, and quantitative skills by participating in modeling competitions. Prerequisites: MATH 1210 (Grade C or higher). FA
