EEPS 2300: Mathematical and Computational Earth SciencesFor graduate students interested in quantitative study of the Earth in geological, physical, or engineering sciences. Mathematical topics to be introduced may include tensor analysis, asymptotic and perturbation analysis of differential equations, numerical integration of differential equations, basis functions and pattern recognition, fractals and multifractals, and statistics. Applications will vary by offering, but examples include: statistics of turbulence and earthquakes, advection-reaction-diffusion systems, boundary layers, development of shocks and singularities, climate change, carbon sensitivity, and dimensional reduction of geophysical data. Intensive review of introductory mathematical methods through leading discussions in a lower level class. Earth, fluid, or solid science background recommended. You can access the syllabus, class calendar, notes, and reading |
