Graduate Certificate in Dynamical Systems and Mathematical Modeling

This certificate prepares students to describe, formulate and analyze real world problems in mathematical terms. Students will be exposed to a broad range of applicable analytical tools arising in different areas of mathematics such as Dynamical Systems, Partial Differential Equations, etc. Examples that can be treated with these tools include mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, the random motion of particles in the air, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake, predator-prey model, Keynesian cross model of a national economy, binocular rivalry in visual perception, opinion dynamics, and protein dynamics.

A cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 2.75 out of 4.00Applicants for graduate study must have earned at least a 4-year U.S. equivalent Baccalaureate degree. Typically, 16 years of schooling with four years of full-time study at the university level, culminating with the award of a first or second degree. Applicants must submit their academic record/transcript at the time of application. The Graduate School accepts unofficial transcripts at the time of application and does not require third-party credential evaluations.
