Text: Selected readings will be distributed.

Grading: Homework will be assigned (nearly) daily, and will generally be due one week after it is assigned. There will be no exams. Students will also complete a research paper. This research may involve a survey of known results, an investigation into the applicability of a certain model to various applications, a comparison of various models to a particular application, the development of a new model, etc. Collectively, the homework will account for 80% of the final grade, and the paper will account for 20%.
