ENVS 340 - Systems Modeling Semester Offered: Second Semester Credits (Range): 3 Hours Attribute: 3 NS
Computer simulation models are powerful tools for organizing information, gaining insight into underlying dynamics, and predicting the behavior of complex systems. Students will design and construct models as a means of building understanding of a variety of biological and environmental phenomena. Models developed will cover topics ranging from physiology to community dynamics to large-scale flows of material and energy. These examples will provide students with systems-thinking skills and a library of analogies that can be broadly applied to problems in the natural and social sciences. Credit can be counted towards either biology or environmental studies majors. Enrollment Limit: 16 Instructor: J. Petersen Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisites: Biology 120, at least one college chemistry course, comfort using algebraic equations. Consent of the instructor is required.
