MTH3310 - Applied mathematical modelling

On completion of this unit students will be able to:

1. Understand specific basic knowledge and display key technical skills in optimisation, model fitting, simulation, and queueing theory, and their applications;
2. Develop, apply, integrate and generate knowledge through abstraction and by using high-level critical thinking skills to analyse and solve mathematical problems;
3. Apply knowledge of mathematics and sound mathematical modelling to a range of applications across science, medicine, economics or engineering;
4. Collect, organise, analyse and interpret quantitative information meaningfully, using mathematical and/or statistical tools as appropriate to the sub-discipline of specialisation;
5. Demonstrate skills in the written and oral presentation of a mathematical argument that enable mathematical concepts, processes and results to be communicated effectively to diverse audiences;
6. Work both individually and collectively with staff and colleagues on the synthesis of mathematical knowledge and the application of mathematical skills to problem solving.
