This unit gives students the opportunity to learn some of the skills of modelling in the real world, using mathematics. By 'doing' rather than 'listening' and working in groups, individual students develop skills that translate the experience of learning and practising mathematics, into communicating the results of their finding to a wider, and possibly lay, clientele.
Aims: To introduce the principles of mathematical modelling and the design process, through lectures and small group projects.
On successful completion of this unit students will have:
There will be a mixture of lectures, seminars, demonstration exercises and tutorials:
20 Lectures, 8 Seminars, 12 tutorials and 8 demonstration sessions.
100% coursework; combination of written report on group modelling project (40%,) individual report (40%) group presentation (10%) and masterclass (10%)
