Module title:Mathematical Modelling
Module codeMTH1003
Module lecturers:Prof John Thuburn
Module credits:30

This module will introduce you to the theory and tools for analysing real physical systems, such as pendulums, planetary motion, and predator-prey models. You will also develop programming and coding skills using a package such as Matlab, and learn how mathematical theory and computer-based modelling can complement each other to help us understand and predict the world around us.
 
This module will also introduce you to the process of mathematical research and help you to understand the nature of the mathematical research community that you will be joining at the University of Exeter. You will work individually or as part of a team to carry out three short projects that will develop a range of individual and group research and communication skills. The ideas and skills in the module are developed further in MTH2005 Modelling: Theory and Practise.

Please note that all modules are subject to change, please get in touch if you have any questions about this module.
