Description

Skill in practical numerical computing is highly recommended for students taking this course. Those students who have not already taken a suitable computing course may be required to take a short bridging course. Undergraduate thesis together with advanced lectures on topics chosen from the following fields: advanced mathematical methods for applied mathematics, advanced optimization, numerical analysis, theory of linear and non linear dynamical systems, optimal control, operations research, functional analysis and applications, mathematics of economic models and of economic prediction, fluid mechanics, oceanography, micro- hydrodynamics, and analytical and numerical solution of partial differential equations. May also include advanced lectures given by other Departments or Schools.

Note:
To enter Applied Mathematics Level IV, students must have completed a MATH major in the Science program, including at least 30 units of credit in Level III Mathematics and/or Statistics, or have completed Stage 3 of the Applied Mathematics plan in the Advanced Science or Advanced Mathematics program.

In addition, students must have permission from the Head of the Applied Mathematics Department. Students will normally be required to have a credit average in their Level III Mathematics and Statistics courses and to have shown some evidence of the ability to undertake independent study.

In special cases other courses may be substituted for the Mathematics and Statistics courses. Intending Honours students should discuss their selection of Level III courses with the Head of the Applied Mathematics Department before starting stage 3. Students must complete 48 units of credit of Honours Mathematics and/or Statistics in order to be awarded an Honours degree.
