Classroom discussions will then focus on relating location on the Earth's surface to a common mapping grid. Non-projected and projected maps, ellipsoids and spheroids, and geoids will be discussed. Spatial relationships, or analysis, of continuous and categorical data will be addressed through the application of standard statistics and probability. 4 credits ESE 506 Environmental Systems Analysis Introduction to techniques of systems analysis applied to environmental quality management. Emphasis is placed on development and application of mathematical models with computer simulation and optimization.
Analysis is efficient computational algorithms and search techniques.
Linear and separable programming applied to evaluate management alternatives. Applications to air, water, solid, and hazardous waste management. Each offering is independent in content and structure. Typically, an advanced topic related to numerical modeling of flow or transport equations is formally presented and analyzed in great depth. Course offered only on demand.
