Introduction
This will introduce honours level students to advanced topics in applied mathematics. The topics may vary from year to year depending on student interest and staff availability. Possible topics include: * Solution of systems of ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs); * Perturbation methods; * Asymptotic methods; * Transform theory. This unit is an optional unit for students enrolled in Honours Mathematics, Statistics, or Physics, or by permission of the Unit Coordinator.
