| Purpose | Make participants able to work with mathematical modelling of dynamical systems in agriculture, simulate models and compare simulation results with observations | |
| Description | Mathematical
modelling is the discipline of setting up mathematical equations that describe the system
being studied. This involves recognizing dynamical processes in the system and setting up
the necessary ordinary differential equations (ODE) - and any constraints. Simulations are used for two main purposes: to study the evolution in time of a system, and to identify parameters in a model of the system. The first is straightforward when the mathematical modelling is done. The second arises when the aim of the simulation is to compare simulation results with observations, to determine model parameters. Keywords of the course: - Mathematical modelling of dynamical systems, In the course, theory is supplemented with exercises and computer assignments. At the end of the course, students will work on a two-day project that involves modelling and computing aspects. |
