Techniques of Applied Mathematics
by Andrew Fowler
Publisher: University of Oxford 2005
Number of pages: 141
Description:
This course develops mathematical techniques which are useful in solving 'real-world' problems involving differential equations, and is a development of ideas which arise in the second year differential equations course. The course embraces the ethos of mathematical modelling, and aims to show in a practical way how equations 'work', and what kinds of solution behaviours can occur.

This report explores the interface between biology and mathematics. It argues that the stimulation of biological application will enrich the discipline of mathematics for decades or more, as have applications from the physical sciences in the past.
