This unit develops techniques and skills that are fundamental in the study and application of mathematics at an advanced level. In any successful application, two contrasting but complementary skills must be developed: the ability to formulate a given real-world problem in appropriate mathematical terms; and sufficient knowledge to obtain useful information and testable predictions from that model, by analytical and numerical means. The unit shows how differential equations arise as mathematical models of such real phenomena in science, engineering and the social sciences, and introduces some tools ? Fourier series and numerical methods ? for the study and eventual solution of these... -- Course Website
