Description

An introduction to mathematical modelling and simulation via case studies using standard computer packages. Structured programming for mathematical problem solving.

Prerequisites

RP: It is strongly recommended that students should have passed EMTH118 or MATH102 before taking EMTH171/MATH170. A prior or concurrent enrolment in EMTH119 or MATH103 is also recommended. If you are taking EMTH171/MATH170 concurrently with EMTH118 or MATH102, you are likely to experience difficulties and need to put in extra work.

Restrictions

MATH171, EMTH171
