Course content

The course is an introduction to generic principles and methods to formulate mathematical models of systems and processes in science and engineering. Topics covered include dimensional analysis, scaling, perturbation analysis, dynamical models, conservation laws, and applications.

Learning outcome

1. Knowledge. The student masters generic principles and methods for the formulation and analysis of mathematical models of systems and processes in engineering and the natural sciences. This includes knowledge of dimensional analysis, scaling, perturbation analysis, dynamical models, and conservation laws. The student has some insight into the possibilities for performing analytical and numerical computations based on the model. 2. Skills. The student is able to formulate and qualitatively analyze mathematical models of a wide range of systems and processes. 3. General competence. The student can work in groups, and is able to communicate the results orally and in writing.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and a modelling project in groups. Exercises are given, but are not mandatory. Lectures, all written documentation and the exam are given in English. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments including the exam.

Further on evaluation

The final grade in this course is based on the written school exam (75%) and the group project (25%). Project participation is optional, but declining participation means the student at most can get a final maximal score of 75%. The results of the project and the exam are given separately by letter grades, with the final grade weighted as specified. A student must have a passed grade on the written school exam to qualify for a final passed grade. The summer retake exam for students who failed the ordinary exam is given as an oral exam. For the final grad, the oral exam counts 75% and the grade from the already finished project 25%. Students who retake an ordinary written exam must retake the course in its entirety, that is; retake all parts of the evaluation.
