Course Description

Mathematical Modeling is one of professional required courses in mathematics major, which is cultivating students’ ability to solve practical problems with applying mathematical. This is a very technical course, students are required to establish model, solve the problem and test the model by computer. It contains the optimization theory, the differential equation, probability theory and the regression analysis. It is suitable for sophomore of our university. Throughout the course, we will instruct students in ability of abstract thinking and logical reasoning. And it is the antecedent course of other subsequent selective courses.
