MATH 94Mathematical Outreach: Explorations of Mathematics in the Physical World
Mathematics · 6 units · Undergraduate lower division (0-99)
Uses inquiry-based mathematical modeling as a tool for understanding dynamics of physical systems and chemical processes. Fundamental concepts of single-variable calculus and models of dynamical processes in physics, chemistry, and other subjects in which quantities change with time. Use of computer program C++ for problem solving, plotting, and dynamical simulation in the laboratory. Exploration of current topics in metacognition and education research focused on methods of learning and their practical application in small-group settings. Students practice communication skills with frequent assessment of and feedback on progress.
