APSC 210 - Predictability

Fall (3) Shaw (College 200, NQR)

How do we make quantitative predictions of the future? This course will introduce complex systems, including chaotic and stochastic systems. Mathematical and computational methods for predicting behavior of complex systems will be discussed. Applications will include climate modeling and political and economic forecasting. Students will learn to think critically about predictions encountered in the media. (This course is anchored in the NQR domain, and also considers aspects of the ALV and CSI domains.)
