Modeling Change and Uncertainty

Covers both linear and nonlinear models of discrete dynamical systems. Introduces statistics and probability modeling Introduces critical statistical concepts to handle univariate and multivariate data. Establishes a foundation in probability modeling. Uses ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to develop a more robust solution to problems. Uses linear programming and machine learning to support decision making. Introduces the reality of uncertainty and randomness that is all around us Discusses the use of linear programing to solve common problems in modern industry. Discusses he power and limitations of simulations Introduces the methods and formulas used in businesses and financial organizations. Introduces valuable techniques using Excel, MAPLE, and R
