Unit description In this unit, students develop an understanding of scientific computing and modelling, analysis, problem solving and visualisation. They understand the approach of computational modelling; have strong programming skills in Excel, MATLAB and Mathematica in data analysis modelling; understand limitations and uncertainty in models; devise and implement computational models; analyse data and hypotheses; are aware of reliability and correctness; and are able to perform simulation and testing. Learning outcomes Students are able to (1) devise and produce graphs and visualisations of numerical data; (2) analyse data and hypotheses; (3) demonstrate strong programming skills; (4) manage data using spreadsheet applications; (5) understand the computational model, limitations and uncertainty; and (6) devise and implement computational models and simple numerical methods in MATLAB and Mathematica.

Assessment Assessment overview Typically this unit is assessed in the following way(s): (1) an examination; (2) a programming test; and (3) laboratory-based exercises. Further information is available in the unit outline. Assessment mechanism #1 Component
