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:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions including online group meetings, and presentations. The core activity will be in the form of group modelling projects on topics of interest to academia, business, or industry.
2 x Summative Assessments, 100% - Coursework. This will assess all ILOs.
