The students will gain knowledge, overview, and understanding in several fundamental mathematical subdisciplines which fall into four basic categories: voting and apportionment; growth; management of networks; data analysis. 2. Students will assimilate these mathematical ideas while applying them to practical everyday questions, and in turn gain an understanding how real-life programs give rise to development of mathematical theories. |
