MATH 496: Mathematical Modeling Class Assignments
Term Project
You will all be doing a Term Project which will involve doing a mathematical model on a particular topic of interest. You can work on this term
project in groups, if you like. The term project is intended to be an
opportunity to look at a particular problem in depth and to come up with as
robust a model as one can. It can be a significant expansion of a model introduced in a homework question or classroom example, or a simplified ``real world''
model.
