Advanced Applied Mathematics - Modeling
M613, Fall Semester 2006

Meets: Mondays and Wednesdays 10:00-11:30 Cullimore Hall Room II

Course Description:

This course will cover standard methods for modeling in applied math. In coordination with Advanced Applied Mathematics - Methods, the main focus is how to best model a phenomenon systematically based on the natures of the phenomenon.

Some topics to be covered include:

  • modeling in applied math, scaling, non-dimensionalization
  • simple harmonic oscillator, many-body system
  • continuum system: heat equation, traffic flow, population dynamics in mathematical biology
  • continuum mechanics: fluid dynamics


    We use the textbook "Mathematics Applied to Deterministic Problems in the Natural Sciences" by C. C. Lin and L. A. Segel.
