There are no prerequisite courses from ESRP 550.
The course meets the "quantitative skills" requirement for students
in the MS program in Environmental Science.
The course is open to ALL students at WSU; it's a systems course, so students
from all fields will benefit.
I assume you have learned introductory algebra and that you have
learned how to combine units of measurement.
It is useful to refresh your memory here, and Appendices A & B in the
book will help your review.
You do not need to know calculus or differential equations for
ESRP 550.
We won't use these classical techniques to build models.
We will make more progress by building the models on the computer using
stock and flow building blocks.
The computer will then find the dynamic behavior through numerical simulation.
