An MIT OpenCourseWare course taught by Neil Gershenfeld that introduces mathematical modeling of physical and engineered systems, using a mix of analytical methods and computation. Materials are freely available through OCW.
A commenter calls it one of the best courses at MIT and says it was transformative, while noting it demands a lot of time.

Neil Gershenfeld is responsible for two of the best courses at MIT: "How to Make (almost) Anything" and "The Nature of Mathematical Modeling". Neither are compatible with healthy sleep habits, but both are transformative. I took NMM and, to this day, one my biggest regrets is never taking "How to Make (almost) Anything."
