Mathematical Modelling

The aim of this course is to enable you to study real-world phenomena by constructing and using simple models. This course does not involve computer programming, although some use is made of existing computer programs where performing the operations by hand would be too time consuming or tedious.

This course runs in the Spring Term of the 1st year of both BSc and MPhys courses. As the course progresses, lecture notes will be made available on the VLE.

One of my favourite parts of the course was fractals, so I've written this little javascript program to illustrate some simple ones. Reload the page to get a different one.

Your browser does not support the canvas element, so the fractal simulation cannot run. Sorry!
