Mathematical Modeling Certificate
This certificate prepares students to describe, formulate and analyze real world problems in
mathematical terms. Students will be exposed to a broad range of applicable analytical tools
arising in different areas of mathematics such as Dynamical Systems, Partial Differential
Equations, Linear Algebra, Graph Theory, etc. Examples that can be treated with these tools
include mathematical models that describe the flow of water in a pipe, Keynesian cross model
of a national economy, opinion dynamics, protein dynamics, chemical oscillators, predator-prey
model, genetic control systems, chaotic waterwheels, neural networks and network flows.
