	'''Confidence with Mathematics:''' Increased confidence in mathematics will help you in other areas, no matter what you choose to do. Developing confidence requires challenging yourself, and working hard to meet your challenges. I will help you do that.

+'''Learning Outcomes:''' Copied from Chris Mitchell's 2013 syllabus:
 :My goal is that the students will (1) develop a general understanding of how mathematical models are developed and used, (2) learn specific methods for one modeling methodology (difference equations), (3) experience the progression from simpler to more complex models, (4) observe how traditional mathematical operations and functions arise out of the models we study, (5) learn the organizational strategy of grouping functions into families defined in terms of parameters, and (6) learn the core concepts of chaos as a significant limitation on the discrete mathematical modeling methodology.

-'''Course Objectives:''' By the end of the class, I want you to have some understanding of some elementary mathematical models, and what goes into analyzing them.  I want you to develop general math skills, but mostly I want you to have increased confidence vis-a-vis mathematics.  Increased confidence in one area will help you in others.  Developing confidence requires challenging yourself, and working hard to meet your challenges.  I will help you do that.
