MAEN 5080 Logo in Mathematics

The course introduces the idea of one variable and multivariable simulations using real-world data for exploration and extension. Since programming is essential to creating simulations, the computer language of Logo will be used for one-variable simulations and the new language, NetLogo, will be used for multivariable simulations. Topics covered are: mathematical patterning in geometry and number systems, fractals and space-filling curves, probability and probabilistic grids, and simulation applications to a wide variety of curriculum disciplines. Prerequisite(s): MAEN 5010 and MAEN 5040
