MATH 717 - Projects in Industrial Mathematics

[3]

The primary objective of the course is to apply knowledge gained in students’ graduate program to a number of micro-projects in a way that reflects procedures done in non-academic settings. This includes working in a team on the projects; helping to prepare a written report on the problem formulation, analysis and results; and giving an oral presentation on the work. The industrial-oriented problems might need modeling involving methodologies from probability, statistics, ordinary or partial differential equations or discrete mathematics. The course is considered a core requirement for students taking the industrial mathematics master’s degree option, but other students are encouraged to participate.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: MATH 617 or consent of instructor.
