Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Modelling is one of the important aspects of applied mathematics. Given a real world problem it has to be turned into a mathematical model, with suitable simplifications (e.g. linearity, time-invariance), which can be treated then by existing (or newly developed) mathematical methods. The results have to be translated back into "reality'', have to be interpreted, in order to valididate the model. Both too coarse or too refined (multiparameter, overfitted) models are insuitable.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Give the participants an understanding of the principles of mathematical modelling, encourage them to do their
own modelling, and to feel comfortable with "giving up'' the Theorem-Proof view on mathematics.

Examination topics

The principles of modelling, guidelines and pitfalls, will be described during the course via a number of concrte examples. Details and literature are given in the course. Participants will be encouraged to choose their own application area
and examples of interest (see Proseminar). Numerical simulations (using MATLAB) will be used for demonstrations.
