The aim of the course:
This course aims to provide students with general knowledge on formulating problems that arises in applied sciences as mathematical models, solving such models through analytical, qualitative and numerical methods, as well as interpreting solutions within the concept of physical problem at hand.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : formulate mathematical models for a variety of problems1,21
LO - 2 : solve the model using analytical, qualitative and partically some numerical methods,4,51
LO - 3 : interprate the solution whithin the concept of the phenomenon being modelled.4,5,61
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
