MATH 066. Fundamentals of Applied Mathematics
Mathematical problems that arise from real-world applications often do not possess exact solutions due to complicating characteristics, such as uncertainty and nonlinearities. This course will introduce theory and techniques useful for deriving and interpreting approximate, numeric, or probabilistic solutions to mathematical problems. Standard topics include stochastic processes, perturbation methods, and numerical analysis. Applications will be developed and illustrated on examples drawn from areas such as physics, biology, chemistry, and industry.
Prerequisite: Linear Algebra, Several Variable Calculus, and basic differential equations (MATH 043 , MATH 044 , or MATH 056 , or Phys 50)
Natural sciences and engineering.
