Note: CSA 2 is part of the Computer Science Minor

CSA3 Mathematical and Computer Modeling: This sequence enhances the student's ability to approach applied problems in a quantitative way. Students will use their knowledge of calculus, probability, statistics, and computing to develop quantitative models of problem situations from a variety of areas. The first course provides an introduction to quantitative modeling, using calculus. All elements of the problem situation are represented as constants. The second course uses probability and statistics to create stochastic models in which some elements of the problem are represented as random variables. The third course introduces the use of computers to create simulation models of the problem situation.

1. CSA 273 Optimization Modeling (3)
2. CSA 372 Stochastic Modeling (3) and
3. CSA 471 Simulation (3)
