Quantitative Environmental Analysis

Students learn to use mathematical tools and techniques to understand the real-world processes and implications of environmental problem-solving and decision making; apply mathematical and statistical models to clarify and respond to environmental issues; and read, critically evaluate, synthesize, and analyze a range of issues based on data and literature in the mathematical sciences.
