Discrete Zombie Apocalypse: A Mathematical Modeling Course Project

نویسندگان

چکیده

For undergraduate mathematical modeling courses, a successful semester project can reinforce key learning objectives while enabling creativity and developing critical thinking skills. However, course directors often struggle in novel ideas balancing the tradeoff between grading burden complexity. At U.S Military Academy, we take an open-ended discovery-learning approach to freshman level math project. This article outlines one involving Zombie Apocalypse scenario along with student responses. To assist students, promote flexibility, scaffold process in-progress reviews, train students on how write concise executive summaries.

Tackling the Zombie Apocalypse: Sensemaking in Simulated Disaster Management

In this paper, we report the design of a simulated disaster management exercise that is used to explore the manner in which teams of emergency responders make sense of unfamiliar, dynamic situations. The paper develops a notion of sensemaking that combines semantic (i.e., extracting meaning from cues in the environment) and pragmatic (i.e., recognising opportunities for courses of action). This...

A new framework for high-technology project evaluation and project portfolio selection based on Pythagorean fuzzy WASPAS, MOORA and mathematical modeling

High-technology projects are known as tools that help achieving productive forces through scientific and technological knowledge. These knowledge-based projects are associated with high levels of risks and returns. The process of high-technology project and project portfolio selection has technical complexities and uncertainties. This paper presents a novel two-parted method of high-technology ...
