This unit will give a taster to some topics in modern applied mathematics, which we feel every budding systems engineer should know about. The teaching will be delivered in one week, with different topics each day. Typical titles of the topics are: Complex Networks; Information from Data; Optimisation and Linear Programming; Handling Uncertainty; Nonlinear Dynamics.
To acquaint students with modern applied mathematics topics, which build upon and span beyond material traditionally taught to undergraduate engineers. The style of the course will be one of raising broad awareness of the mathematical tools that are available, rather than traditional didactic teaching in narrow topics.
