FYS 137 Not That Kind of Model
Our understanding of the modern world, and how we operate in and experience it, is influenced by models. They are used for everything: sending probes to Jupiter, predicting the weather/COVID spread, deciding who gets a loan/parole, assessing competing climate change mitigation strategies, making people waste time on social media. What are these models? How do they work? What are the benefits/costs/risks associated with their use? In this course, we will work to address these questions.
