An introduction to mathematical modelling and simulation via case studies using standard computer packages. Structured programming for mathematical problem solving.
This summer occurrence of EMTH171 is intended for those students who have studied the course previously and who have demonstrated that they are competent in the Matlab programming content of the course.This is a waitlisted course with enrolment subject to Head of School approval - potential students should contact the Course Administrator in the first instance.
Students who pass this course will:Be familiar with the MATLAB programming environment.Be familiar with the basics of structured programming (including for loops, conditional statements, and writing functions).Understand the concept of a numerical method and appreciate the need for numerical methods in real-world problem solving.Be familiar with numerical integration, Newton’s method, and Euler’s method for differential equations and systems of coupled differential equations.Be able to implement these numerical methods computationally.Have an introductory-level understanding of the concepts and techniques involved in formulating a mathematical model of a real-world situation.Be able to interpret computational results in the context of a real-world problem.
RP: MATH103 or EMTH119 (prior or concurrent enrolment recommended). If you are taking EMTH171 concurrently with EMTH118 you are likely to experience difficulties.
