MAS375: Modelling and Simulation

This unit develops skills in mathematical modelling and simulation of various dynamical systems (including mechanical, thermal, process, biological, biomedical, economic, financial, stochastic and discrete event systems) and introduces control systems, parameter estimation and Monte Carlo simulation. Applications include vehicle vibrations, central heating, fisheries, epidemics, drug infusion, traffic and stock price models. Central to the unit is the practical use of the computer packages MATLAB and Simulink for the numerical solution and simulation of the systems.
