Subject description
MATH313 is designed to develop mathematical modelling skills by the examination of case studies relevant to industry. The basic equations are derived from first principles and used to study the transfer of mass and heat, diffusion, solidification and combustion. In addition, the subject aims to improve oral presentation skills by … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
1.
Formulate mathematical models of selected problems in industrial mathematics, including processes such as those based upon mass diffusion or heat conduction.
2.
Express such a mathematical model in dimensionless form, identifying the important dimensionless parameters of a process;
3.
Apply various standard quantitative and qualitative techniques to study problems involving linear and nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations.
4.
Use suitable software packages to solve mathematical equations and/or illustrate their solutions.
5.
Interpret the behaviour of a mathematical solution in terms of the underlying industrial problem.
6.
Facilitate, present and explain the understanding of mathematical formulations of industrial problems, their solutions and the interpretation of the solutions through writing and presentations.
