Learning objectives
The course proposes the study of some applied research problems. The goal is to
develop, implement and apply proper mathematical models requiring the
development of suitable tools, possibly based on simulations and data analysis.
The topics may vary across the years, according to the teachers holding the course
and the research themes they propose.
Expected learning outcomes
To develop a mathematical model describing physical, biological, social, financial phenomena. To design a numerical algorithm and to implement a computational code in order to simulate phenomena described by a mathematical model. To work in a team. To write a scientific report. To structure a scientific presentation.

Course syllabus
The syllabus depends on the assigned project.
Prerequisites for admission
Mandatory courses of the Bachelor degree.
Teaching methods
Lectures and laboratory activities.
Teaching Resources
Bibliographic references will be given during the teaching based on the projects to which students will be assigned.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a project and an oral assessment .

- The project will be preliminarily assigned by the Teacher, and it will be presented by the Student at the same time as the oral assessment. The project consists of the implementation of the code for the numerical simulation of a mathematical model. This aims to evaluate the Student's ability to frame a mathematical modeling problem, to identify a solution and to report on the results obtained.

- During the oral assessment, the assigned project will be illustrated.

The exam has no grade: it will be registered if the project and the oral assessment are passed.
