Dynamic Modeling • Model Structure: • State space (variables and parameters) • Model type: discrete, continuous, deterministic, stochastic,… • Mathematical tools/techniques: differential equations, discrete eq-ns, combinatorial structures (graphs, networks, etc.) • Computer tools
Objectives, strategies: • Build “mathematical cartoons” of real (physical, chemical, biological) systems • analyze, identify dynamic patterns (e.g. equilibria, cycles, chaos). • Develop math. concepts, tools and techniques (analytic, numeric, exact, qualitative) • Solution methods for predicting outcomes • Parameter estimation and model validate • Applications: • explain data • make predictions • test hypotheses • run numeric (virtual) experiments, compare with real/ data/experiments
