The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide students the basic knowledge and skills required to model various phenomenon of interest and analyse the resulting models with theoretical and numerical tools.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : analyse simple models1 - 31
PO - 2 : remove some assumptions of the simple models and thus obtain relatively generalized models1 - 31
PO - 3 : Model and analyse various problems of interest1 - 31
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), PO : Learning Outcome
