SySc 512 Quantitative Methods of Systems Science
An introduction to the quantitative representation and investigation of systems with a focus that emphasizes tools more than applications. Topics include linear dynamics, optimization, and uncertainty. The level of presentation assumes familiarity and facility with calculus. Notions from linear algebra unify the topics and those notions will be presented. Required coursework includes both calculations to be done on a computer and calculations to be done by hand.
Prerequisite
one year of calculus, probability and familiarity with computers, graduate standing.
