Introduction
This mathematics and modelling refresher course will help if you have been away from academia for a number of years. Unused math skills can fade if not used regularly, so this course will bring you to a greater level of competency. This course is not intended for first-time learners.
Course Material
Problems
- Problem 1 Algebra
- Problem 2 Calculus
- Problem 3 Probability and Statistics
- Problem 4 Ordinary Differential Equations
Please note that not all of the materials in the Course Notes can be covered in a two-day refresher course. The Course Notes can be used for future reference. There are a great number of examples that can be used for self-study.
