To apply mathematical modelling techniques (empirical, deterministic, stochastic) to real-world problems and case studies. To evaluate the development, solution, and analysis of mathematical models.
Model formulation and verification; different types of models (discrete and continuous, deterministic and
probabilistic, predictive and descriptive); proportionality and geometric similarity; model fitting with splines; model fitting with the method of least squares; case studies including discrete, continuous, deterministic and
probabilistic models.
Students will learn how to determine which are the relevant features of a problem, choose the best mathematical tools to model the problem, how to implement the model, how to calibrate the model, and the differences between the various types of model.
