Overview

This unit will broaden your exposure to the toolkit of applied mathematics techniques required to tackle various problems encountered in real-world modelling. Building on the prerequisite knowledge of linear algebra and multivariable calculus, you will learn methods for reducing real world problems into mathematical ones. You will then learn a … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.

Demonstrate specific basic knowledge and display key technical skills in dynamical systems, partial differential equations, continuum mechanics and their applications;

2.

Develop, apply, integrate and generate knowledge through abstraction and by using high-level critical thinking skills to analyse and solve mathematical problems;

3.

Apply knowledge of mathematics and sound mathematical modelling to a range of applications across science, medicine, economics or engineering;

4.

Collect, organise, analyse and interpret quantitative information meaningfully;

5.

Demonstrate skills in the written and oral presentation of a mathematical argument that enable mathematical concepts, processes and results to be communicated effectively to diverse audiences;
