Mathematical Physics

MA2MPH

DR Calvin Smith

The course continues the applied stream of mathematical education from e.g. mathematical modelling and facilitates to choose further physics- or biology-related modules in the third and fourth years. In this module, we show for several examples how mathematical problems arise in the description of nature and what their solution means for the phenomena under study. For example, problems like sound wave propagation or heat transfer have lead to partial differential equations and boundary-value problems. In this module you will also study how different mathematical concepts arise from physical phenomena, and in particular discover that completely different areas of physics can be described by exactly the same mathematical equations.

Numerical Modelling of Atmosphere and Oceans

MT4YF

PROF Pier Luigi Vidale

Numerical models are central to predicting the evolution of fluid flows including weather forecasting and climate simulation. Atmosphere and ocean science has advanced rapidly by using models: they represent the essence of what we know about fluid behaviour and enable us to obtain approximate solutions for complex, nonlinear problems where analytic solutions are unknown. This module considers the formulation of model equations, schemes to solve them numerically and ways in which model performance can be evaluated using knowledge of fluid properties and phenomena. You will also implement idealised models yourself to solve problems using computer programming.
