Course programme
What you'll study
Our Industrial Mathematical Modelling MSc provides a solid foundation in the core areas of mathematics relevant to industry and stimulates students to meet their own aspirations, interests and educational needs.
Modules
Industrial Mathematical Modelling MSc covers a wide range of topics; to give you a taster we have expanded on some of the core modules affiliated with this programme and the specific assessment methods associated with each module. You will study the following modules. All are compulsory and worth 15 credits except the summer project which is worth 30.
Mathematical Modelling
Mathematical Modelling
The module involves work on group tasks in the areas of Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics, etc. The direction of the modelling tasks is supervised through weekly meetings between each group and the module coordinators.
Regular and Chaotic Dynamics
Regular and Chaotic Dynamics
The aim of this module is to study dynamical systems from a modern viewpoint emphasising the rich behaviour of nonlinear systems.
The different types of Hopf bifurcations will be explained and simple integrable and chaotic systems will be analysed.
Programming and Numerical Methods
Programming and Numerical Methods
This module will introduce the basic concepts of programming and explain numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations.
Coursework will involve programming numerical methods to solve these equations.
Advanced Reliability, Availability and Maintainability
Advanced Reliability, Availability and Maintainability
This module will introduce the basic engineering concepts of risk and reliability using applied statistical methods. Reliability and availability concepts will be introduced and examples given of modelling systems with dependencies, phased mission, and maintainability issues.
Elements of Partial Differential Equations
Elements of Partial Differential Equations
The aim of this module is to gain familiarity with modern qualitative theory of linear PDE's with particular emphasis on second-order equations. Selected aspects of modern methods for simple nonlinear PDEs will be introduced.
Static and Dynamic Optimisation
Static and Dynamic Optimisation
Non-linear optimisation techniques will be described. The principle of optimality and dynamic programming will be introduced and applied to optimal control problems. Coursework will consist of coding a modern optimization technique in Matlab or Maple.
Fluid Mechanics
Fluid Mechanics
The fundamental equations of fluid mechanics are derived (Navier-Stokes equations) and simplified forms of these equations applicable to a variety of fluid flows are solved analytically.
Summer project
Summer project
This is often carried out in a local company. Past projects include modelling asthma inhalers (3M), predicting gas and electricity demand (DNV-GL). Modelling hybrid (electric-petrol) cars and the delays in switching between the 2 propulsion systems (Jaguar-Land Rover).
