| Summary | A course providing emphasis on the mathematical foundations of modelling. It will include methods in analysis applied to ODEs, PDEs and SDEs with application to model reduction, inverse problems, data assimilation, etc. |
| Course description |
Mainly in the first two semesters, opportunities to attend generic skills training will be made available to you and you are encouraged to make the most of this. It may also be possible to arrange specific training to meet a demand if several students are interested in a specific area.
Semester 1
The SMSTC Symposium in Perth includes workshops on tutoring, marking and how to get a PhD.
Computer Tools & Skills I & II micro project report, and write summary of talk in MAC-MIGS Colloquium.
Presentation skills
Semester 2
Maths Modelling Camp.
Short presentation at MAC-MIGS Residential Symposium.
All Year
Gain experience of writing LaTeX in SMSTC assignments. Store in Training Log.
We expect students to attend general mathematical activities such as seminars, discussions, colloquia and EMS meetings where possible, provided they do not clash with taught courses and other 1st Year MAC-MIGS programme activities.
