This course is an introduction to modeling and simulation with scientific applications. It begins with an overview what modeling and simulation are and what they can and cannot do. From there, we will discuss the fundamentals of how to create a model. We will examine and use simple spread-sheet models for ecology (e.g. predator-prey, unconstrained growth), physics (e.g. bungee jumping), and epidemiology (disease control). From here we will examine the utility of existing models in various disciplines with a focus on experimental design, application, and result interpretation. Minimum Passing Grade: D-
