Summary on Grant Application Form
The aims of the MTP are to provide training in numerical algorithm; and modelling and in the techniques of using, maintaining and developing efficient, reliable numerical software, and to produce graduates who are well suited to employment in, for example, industrial research groups, software houses, consultancy firms and financial instutitions.The objectives of the course are that students should (a) acquire fundamental knowledge of core areas of numerical computation, including linear algebra, differential equations and approximation, (b) become proficient in a scientific programming language (Fortran 95), and in the use of program libraries and mathematical software packages (Matlab, Maple/Mathematica), and (c) understand how to apply their knowledge of numerical algorithms to the solution of problems arising in application areas, through the use or development of appropriate numerical software.The course is designed for students with a 1st or 2nd class degree in Mathematics or a mathematically based subject.
