Description:
Aimed at building problem-solving ability in students through the development of mathematical models for certain real-life situations in the social and biological sciences. Topics are selected from biology and political science.
Topics covered:
Both MTH218 and MTH219 are aimed at building problem-solving ability in students through the development of mathematical models for certain real-life situations in the social and biological sciences. MTH218 concentrates on axiomatic models and those involving autonomous systems of differential equations. Topics are selected from biology and polictical science, including voting theory and Arrow's theorem. Independent of MTH219. Topics may change. Check with the instructor to see which topics are being offered.
