Course overview
This course aims to discuss mathematical thinking, perspectives and practice. Learners will identify how mathematics underpins science, nature, industry, and technology. They will construct mathematical models using empirical and discrete methods and develop mathematical communication and teamwork.
- Mathematical Thinking In Practice
- Empirical Modelling Techniques
- Discrete Modelling Techniques
Course learning outcomes
- Identify mathematical features of real-world problems and strengths and weaknesses of different modelling approaches, including those from non-Western cultures
- Participate effectively in a team of peers on a mathematical investigation
- Use written and oral communication effectively to transmit mathematical ideas
- Apply empirical and discrete mathematical techniques to solve modelling problems, analytically and using a computer
- Interpret the results of empirical and discrete mathematical models to evaluate their validity and utility to a real-world scenario
