Study of selected topics in applied mathematics at an advanced level, intended mainly for mathematical science students in the 7th or 8th semester. Sample topics are optimal control theory and nonlinear programming. The course will include case studies of real-world problems arising from various areas and the contribution of mathematical models to their solution. Part of the course requirement will involve the completion of a mathematical modeling project in conjunction with the departmental Mathematics and Statistics Clinic. For further information concerning the Clinic, consult the department. (Offered in even-numbered years.)
