To introduce students to the enormous diversity and complexity of problems in ecology and epidemiology; to give mathematics students the opportunity to gain familiarity with the vocabulary of biology.
To provide an introduction to the modelling and analysis of solutions of problems in ecology and epidemiology, particularly those that can be addressed via dynamical systems techniques.
Subject content
The module aims to inspire students by introducing them to a range of problems of significant current interest. To this end, the module will address essential elements as below making use of topical examples.
Academic and graduate skills
Graduate skills: through lectures, examples, classes, students should develop their ability to assimilate, process and engage with new material quickly and efficiently. Students should develop problem solving-skills and learn how to apply techniques to unseen problems.
