MA 525 - Mathematical Problem-Solving and Modeling


Students in this course hone their mathematical reasoning and communication skills by using a wide variety of mathematical skills and concepts to solve non-routine problems. The Extreme Principle, symmetry, Pigeonhole Principle, parity, and cross-over techniques are among the mathematical strategies used. In addition, students learn how to develop and analyze discrete mathematical models of phenomena from fields such as biology, business, sociology, and environmental studies and the parallels between discrete and continuous modeling.

Prerequisites & Notes
