Course Objective

The aim of the course is to introduce modeling approach and simulation as a tool for the analysis, planning and construction of physical processes, to understand the relation between the model equations and it s variables. During the course the student will attain the knowledge and skills to develop a mathematical model and to conduct it both in modeling, solution and it s philosophy cases.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   will be realize the basic components of the modeling
2   will be able to recognize the physical realities and model as a first-order ordinary differential equations
3   will be able to use the solution methods of first order ordinary differential equations
4   will be able to recognize the physical realities and model as a second-order ordinary differential equations
5   will be able to use the solution methods of second order ordinary differential equations
6   will be able to comprehend the relations between mathematics, modeling and philosophy
