Module 805G1A
Module details for 2015/16.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 8 (Doctoral)
Module Outline
The aim of this module is to study research papers and postgraduate textbooks to introduce the student to research topics in mathematics above MSc level and to bring the students to the forefront of today's research in mathematics. This is an adaptable course, which can be tailored to the specific students. There will be no fixed syllabus, but a set of options available to the students. The major options available initially will be in the areas on Numerical Analysis & Scientific Computing, Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematics applied to biology.
There is also a version ¿A¿ of this module to be run in autumn term (T1), but ¿A¿ is not prerequisite for ¿B¿, and vice versa.
Library
The readings depend on the option chosen.
Module learning outcomes
