Courses: SYSC 512: Quantitative Methods of Systems Science: Spring 2005

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 course work includes both calculations to be done on a computer (MATLAB or Octave will suffice) and calculations to be done by hand.
