Course overview
Mathematical models are used to predict and optimise the performance and behaviour of engineering systems. This second modelling course is an introduction to the formulation and solution of engineering problems involving data, statistics, simulations and numerical approximations. The course shows how to model relationships between variables in face of uncertainty and how to apply numerical methods to solve otherwise intractable problems. Computational tools for statistical and numerical modelling are introduced.
- Numerical Methods
- Statistics
