- MCS 590 Industrial Mathematics Problem Solving (Special Topics in
Computer Science)
-
Time=1MWF Room=208TH Call=62512 Instructor=Grossman
Description: This course is centered around one or more "industrial" problems. The goal of the course is to provide an opportunity for students to use mathematics to work on problems arising from industrial applications. The course will cover: mathematical modeling, problem formulation, problem analysis, problem solution, developing software to implement the solution, validating the software, analyzing the results, documenting the problem and its solution, and communicating the results.
Prerequisites: Prior coursework in algorithms, applied mathematics, and C programming, or consent of instructor.
Core course: Industrial Problem Workshop (IPW).
