The Computer Simulation of Realistic Mathematical Models Course introduces you to simple yet powerful ways of using maths and computers to model real-life problems. You will learn how to build and explore models that show how systems like wildlife or diseases behave over time. With easy-to-follow lessons, you’ll use open-source software to create your own simulations and see the results in real time.
From predator-prey interactions to the spread of epidemics, this course helps you understand how maths can describe the world. It’s perfect for anyone interested in the link between science, maths, and computers.
