Course overview
This course aims to enable learners to devise and apply deterministic and stochastic mathematical modelling techniques to real-world problems and case studies. Learners will also evaluate, solve, and analyse these mathematical models.
- Modelling Techniques
- Deterministic Modelling
- Stochastic Modelling
Course learning outcomes
- Apply dimensional analysis and nondimensionalisation to characterise the physical dimensions and dimensionless groups in a mathematical model
- Design and solve mathematical models for real-world problems using appropriate discrete, continuous, and stochastic techniques
- Interpret the meaning and utility of analytical and numerical solutions to discrete, continuous, and stochastic mathematical models
- Collaborate with peers to develop a mathematical model for open-ended problem requiring self-directed investigation
- Explain orally and in writing a real-world problem, a mathematical model of the problem, and a solution to the model
