Further development of some of the standard techniques of mathematical modelling including identification of assumptions, parameters and variables; definition of particular cases; re-formulation of problems; verification and validation of models. Computer-based techniques will be introduced including non-linear curve fitting, generation of data from discrete and continuous probability distributions and elementary simulation methods. There is a greater emphasis on problems associated with planning.
Students must pass 1 unit from MAT1184
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
There will be some lectures, but in most sessions students will work in small groups or individually on particular problems.
