Course Objective

The main objective of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of mathematics that are required for quantitative planning techniques and mathematical planning models. The classical quantitative planning techniques and mathematical planning models are also covered in the course. All the subjects covered in the course will be explained through solved numerical examples and their relation to mathematics will be explained in detail.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Recognize basic mathematical concepts as well as the classical quantitative planning techniques and mathematical planning models
2   Differentiate the basic mathematical concepts, classical quantitative planning techniques and mathematical planning models techniques and mathematical planning models
3   Solve numerical examples pertaining to the subjects covered in the class
4   Use the basic quantitative planning techniques and mathematical planning models to solve urban planning problems
