ACM40960 Projects in Maths Modelling

Academic Year 2023/2024

As the name implies, the main goal of the module is for each student to complete a summer-long project for which the grades will be given based on a poster presentation supplemented with codes stored in a shared GitHub repository. A list of projects will be provided for students in the beginning of the trimester. After choosing their project, the students will begin with a brief literature review of the topic then delve into the project over the Summer trimester.
