ENGR 201 - Diff Eq & Systems Modeling

Unit(s): 4

This is an introductory course in systems modeling through differential equations and numerical methods. The objective of the course is to teach students the mathematics of dynamic systems that follow first and second order differential equations, and through that, be able to study a variety of different systems, natural and engineered, from the common lens of systems science. Students gain experience in mathematical modeling of systems of varying complexities, and use mathematics and programming skills to predict the behavior of these systems. The course combines theoretical work, programming and use of software, and conceptual big-picture thinking about how systems work and how we can improve them.

Prerequisite: MATH 109 and MATH 110 and (ENGR 102 or CS 110)
