In the Spring 2004 Semester, Mason Porter will offer a Mathematical Modelling
course at the Undergraduate Level. Here is his description of the course:
Math 4803: Mathematical Modelling MWF 0105-0155pm
The purpose of this course is to introduce undergraduates in math,
science, and engineering (and interested graduate students) to the
rudiments of mathematical modeling with a case study approach. We will
consider both continuous and discrete systems and applications from
numerous scientific disciplines. We will also consider topics (such
as small world networks) in which many scientists are currently actively
engaged in fascinating research in applied mathematics.
There will also be some room for student input when deciding precisely
which topics are covered and students who take the course will have the
opportunity to work on a project of their own choosing.
Anybody interested in discussing this course with me is encouraged to
e-mail me at mason@math.gatech.edu or to come by my office (120 Skiles).
