M 125 - Morphometrics

4 Credit(s)

Morphometrics is the mathematical study of shape. This course will investigate how shapes from the natural world are represented mathematically. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to use algebraic functions to model form, use spline techniques to establish deformation grids between forms, use fractal geometry to model self- similar forms, and describe the shape of the universe. The student will be introduced to appropriate technology used in modeling shape.

Math.
Prerequisite(s): M 095 grade C- or higher, or meet one Math Proficiency standard above; or c/i.
