Course Outline: This module is designed for graduate students in mathematics. It focuses on modeling problems in real life and other disciplines into mathematical problems and simulating their solutions by scientific computing methods. Major topics covered include modeling and numerical simulations in selected areas of physical and engineering sciences, biology, finance, imaging and optimization. In this year, the module will consist of the following 3 parts:

  • Part 1: Modeling and simulations of degenerate quantum gas, by  Bao Weizhu (Weeks 1 — 4 (12 January, 19 January, 26 January, 2 February 2021) ) via zoom with Meeting ID: 908 355 4952 and
    Password: 202008.

  • Part 2: TBA, by Cai Zhengning (Weeks 5 — 8 (9 February, 16 February, 2 March, 9 March 2021) ).
  • Part 3: TBA, by Li QIanxiao (Weeks 9 — 12 (16 March, 23 March, 30 March, 6 April 2021) ).

Grading: The course grade will be calculated by 3 projects with each 1/3 to the total grade.

Schedule of tests: There is no final exam.

Homework Assignments:

  • Project 1 (due date: 6:00pm, 22 February 2021 (Monday) )
  • Part 2
  • Part 3
