MCS 8920

Students will work in groups to formulate mathematical representations of real-world problems; solve the problems using a variety of advanced techniques from mathematics, statistics and computer science; implement and test their solution using the appropriate software; collect and analyze relevant data. Problems may come from science, business, or other areas depending on class interest. Students will give regular written and oral updates on their progress. A final report and presentation will include a review of relevant literature, analysis and solution of the assigned problems, and appropriate data visualizations.
