COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mathematical models of systems that change are frequently written in the form of nonlinear differential equations, but it is usually not possible to write down explicit solutions to these equations. This course covers analytical and numerical techniques that are useful for determining the qualitative properties of solutions to nonlinear differential equations.

This course can be taken either as a supervised reading paper or project or as a course on Lie Groups and Lie Algebras.
Lie Groups and Lie Algebras
This course on Lie Groups and Lie Algebras will be given by Dr. Tom ter Elst.
Symmetries and invariants play a fundamental role in mathematics. Especially important are symmetries that depend continuously on various parameters. These form Lie groups. Closely related are structures called Lie algebras. Historically these structures have played an absolutely pivotal role in many areas which range from the theory of differential equations, and their solutions, to the classification of elementary particles. Strongly recommended for students advancing in theoretical physics and pure mathematics.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Each of these courses (MATHS 786 - 789) deals with some special topic(s) from applied mathematics Not all of them are offered every year; further information may be obtained from the Department of Mathematics.
This course can be taken either as a supervised reading paper or project or as a course on Numerical Methods for Differential Equations.
Numerical Methods for Differential Equations
This course is intended for students who are familiar with standard methods for solving ordinary differential equations, such as Runge–Kutta methods and linear multistep methods, or who have an interest in learning about these methods.
The content will be divided into three parts. First we will consolidate and formalise existing knowledge of the traditional methods. We will then introduce some new and more specialised topics, some of which are associated with so called “General linear methods”, which are generalisations of both Runge-Kutta and linear multistep methods. Finally, we will go more seriously into some of the new topics, with the actual selection based on interests that will have developed amongst members of the class.
Throughout the course the emphasis will be balanced between theoretical and practical considerations.Template:MATHS 788:Summary
