Description
This course, Modelling pollution in the Great Lakes, introduces the idea of modelling with mathematics.
The course centres on a mathematical model of how pollution levels in the Great Lakes of North America vary over a period of time. It demonstrates that, by keeping the model as simple as possible, extremely complex systems can be understood and predicted.
