Available Programme
MASTERING CALCULUS: SIMPLE TOOLS FOR SOLVING REAL-LIFE PROBLEMS WITH MATHEMATICAL MODELS
Programme delivered by the Faculty of Science - Department of Mathematics
Objectives
In this programme, students can explore the use of advanced math to explain things we see in the real world like how populations increase, how spacecraft move in space, and how the weather changes. This programmer focuses on special types of math equations known as differential equations, which are crucial in fields like science and engineering. Students can learn how to apply calculus to predict certain outcomes, figure out ways to solve these complex equations with numerical methods and learn how to visualize the solutions.
Learning Outcomes
By joining our programme, students will:
- learn how to transform real-world problems into meaningful mathematical models.
- understand the basics of the taught approach to solving related problems.
- learn how to apply the learned methodologies to solve similar problems encountered in future studies.
