MATH4702 has been successfully completed

Students undertaking the one year honours programs should check to make sure they have the appropriate background from their undergraduate degree/s.

The intention of this topic is to address a few applied problems in detail to illustrate the full process of applying mathematics to solving serious problems. Steps will likely include data analysis, model formulation, analysis, numerical implementation, validation and interpretation. Problems will be drawn from research interests of the presenter and the students, and will be selected from biology and medicine, physical sciences, computer science, engineering, finance and economics.

This capstone topic takes the student through the full process of applying mathematics to solving serious problems.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

1. Demonstrate the full process of applying mathematics to solving serious problems including:
   1. Data analysis
   2. Model formulation
   3. Analysis
   4. Numerical implementation
   5. Validation
   6. Interpretation
