        Optimizing Pedal People
        Annie Raymond, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
        This course is an introduction to mathematical modeling. The main goal of the class is to learn how to translate large broadly-defined real-world problems into quantitative terms for interpretation, suggestions of improvement and future predictions. Since this is too broad of a topic for one semester, this class focuses on linear and integer programming. The course is centered around a research project that involves optimizing different aspects of the bike-powered trash-recycling-compost-collection service Pedal People.

        Core Competencies: Using mathematics and computational thinking, Developing and using models, Analyzing and interpreting data
        State: Massachusetts
        CURE Duration: A full term
