Course Description

This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling.

We will cover some basic mathematical tools for the quantitative description of practical problems arising from physics, biology, economics, and engineering. The use of these mathematical models allows us to quantitatively study and provide solutions to these problems.

The focus of this course is to give an overview of the mathematical techniques that are commonly used in practice, and illustrate the modeling procedure through some elementary examples.

You will get a taste of mathematical modeling.

Honesty in Academic Work

The Chinese University of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating and plagiarism. Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University. Although cases of cheating or plagiarism are rare at the University, everyone should make himself / herself familiar with the content of the following website:

http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/

and thereby help avoid any practice that would not be acceptable.
