You write a program to take the damaged spacecraft around the moon
and bring it home safely.
You look into how to stop the spread of diseases
such as malaria
and you'd stop cars as quickly as possible
using an antilock braking system.
Finally you predict the cause of a wildfire.
My name is Jörn and I’ll be teaching CS222
-- making math matter -- differential equations in action.
See you soon on Udacity.
