OFFERED FOR SPRING 2022 SEMESTER ONLY:
AMS 691.01: Topics in Applied Mathematics
 
This course will focus on big data/data science and their applications to crucial
applications such as Blockchain, Metaverse, Smart Energy, Electric Vehicles where huge amount of data
exist. We will first cover the basics of big data and data science. Then we introduce the applications. If
time allows, we may cover some future technologies such as quantum computing which could eventually
give us the ultimate power to conquer the big data. The course will be self-contained as much as possible.
If you are unsure about your background, please send the instructor an email inquiry with your
background.
