MCSC 7210G - Advanced Topics in Mathematical Modelling

This course builds on the core course Mathematical Modelling and elaborates on some of its topics in greater detail. In addition, it introduces a variety of special topics in applied mathematics with a focus on industrial and natural processes and phenomena. The topics will be chosen according to the needs and demands of the students and the available faculty resources. Topics and application may include auto-correlation of data sets, bifurcations in time-series, embedding time series, modelling stochastic systems, perturbation methods for partial differential equations, travelling wave phase plane, advanced reaction-diffusion phenomena and transition layers, Hausdorff measures, fractal dimension, Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, analysis of heartbeat time-series, fractals in science and medicine, chaotic dynamics in symmetric coupled cell systems, time series in the stock market and other financial products.
