Overview
What Is This Course?
This course consists of four separate areas of application of Mathematical Modelling. The approach taken is to develop the appropriate mathematical and computational techniques required to model and analyse various real world problems. The course is available in semester II only.
Lecture Information
This course is offered in Semester II only. The following four topics are covered:
* Queuing Theory and Markov Chains
* Random Number Generators and Monte Carlo Methods
* Discrete and Continuous Population Models
* Competitive Species Models including the Lotka-Volterra Model.Students are expected to attend one weekly two hour Maple practicals where various aspects of these topics are illustrated. No previous experience with Maple programming is required.

Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
