Browse Hierarchy MTH739P: Topics in Scientific Computing

This module focuses on the use of computers for solving applied mathematical problems. Its aim is to provide you with proper computational tools to solve problems which you are likely to encounter while during your MSc, and to develop with a sound understanding of a programming language used in applied sciences. The topics covered will include basics of scientific programming, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, random numbers and Monte Carlo methods, simulation of stochastic processes, algorithms for complex networks analysis and modelling. The emphasis of the module would be on numerical aspects of mathematical problems, with a focus on applications rather than theory.
