This course discusses the knowledge of theories related to mathematical modeling required at the undergraduate level of the mathematics study program. An understanding of the basic concepts of modeling, systems of differential equations, various models, model approaches, and their application using MATLAB software is provided as a learning tool before implementing mathematical modeling in real life. Furthermore, problems are given as practice material in constructing and making programs to solve problems mathematically and systematically. Some examples of relevant applications are also given so that students understand the application of the concepts learned so that they can foster creativity and reasoning in students in solving a problem.
