X2 Applied Mathematics 1998/99

(Syllabus)

These pages are in continual development, and will be added to as the course progresses. Suggestions will be most welcome.
If you want to print out or save the results of running the population models the here are some instuctions for capturing and printing images.
Look though these pages to find the exercises. Where you see the "Course Work" lables like these to the left and right do whatever it tells you. You should, of course, read all the material on these pages. You may be expected to know it!

Population models

These will be dealt with in two sections

Optimisation: Linear Programming

Here we use the Simplex Algorithm to solve some simple optimization problems:

Dynamics

In this section we will look at the motion of bodies:

Waves

Here we are concerned with solutions of the wave equation (mostly in one dimesion).
