343320 Algebraic Modeling for Data Analytics (Seaholm)
Algebraic Modeling for Data Analytics teaches students how to use sophisticated mathematics to
make complicated decisions. Algebraic models will be created to solve meaningful problems facing
individuals, businesses, and governments. Multi-criteria decision making will be used to make
decisions with competing objectives. For single-objective scenarios, students will formulate decisions
as mathematical programming problems. Fidelity of the models, sensitivity of solutions, and
interpretation of results will be thoroughly investigated. Extensive use of spreadsheets and other
software will be made to find and analyze optimal solutions to these problems.
Prerequisites: Integrated Math 3
Grades Taught: 11, 12
Credit: .25

343420 Probabilistic Modeling for Data Analytics (Seaholm)
Probabilistic Modeling for Data Analytics teaches students how to use sophisticated mathematics to
make complicated decisions. Probabilistic models are created to solve meaningful problems facing
individuals, businesses, and governments. Students will learn to understand randomness in order to
make better decisions in the face of uncertainty. Basic probability, conditional probability, and several
distributions of random variables will be used to model real-world problems in an effort to make better decisions. Graphing calculators and spreadsheet software will be used extensively to work through
problems.
