| Course description |
This course covers the application of mathematics to build models across a range of scientific phenomena.
The course is divided into two main parts: specialised fluid mechanics and mathematical biology. In the first, magnetohydrodynamics and geophysical fluid dynamics are discussed, whereas in the second, several models of biological processes are covered. |
