Mathematical models pervade all aspects of the pure and applied sciences. Advances in science and technology require not only specialized knowledge in a particular discipline but also a deep understanding of the mathematical tools that underpin models in the discipline. The Certificate in Mathematical Modelling equips students with the mathematical fluency required to formulate, analyze, and evaluate models arising in a wide variety of scientific and industrial contexts.

Following completion of MATH 336 (Mathematical Modelling I), students are invited to complete their training by continuing a broad study of mathematical models in MATH 436 (Mathematical Modelling II) or by exploring in depth an area of mathematical modelling that appeals to their particular interests (discrete, continuous, probabilistic, or quantum modelling).
