Pre-requisites: NIL

Course Objective:
To introduce students to the principles and techniques of mathematical modelling for solving real-
life problems in science, engineering, economics, biology, and industry. The course develops the
ability to formulate, analyze, interpret, and validate mathematical models using analytical and
numerical methods.

Unit I
Introduction to Mathematical Modelling: Concept of modelling, need and scope of mathematical
models, steps in modelling process, classification of models (deterministic, stochastic, static,
dynamic, discrete, continuous), dimensional analysis, scaling and non-dimensionalization,
limitations of models.

Unit II
Differential Equation Models: Population growth models (Malthus, Logistic), epidemic models
(SI, SIR), predator-prey models, compartmental models, applications of first and second order
differential equations in modelling physical systems.

Unit III
Optimization Models: Linear programming models, transportation and assignment problems,
network models, inventory models, game theory basics, applications in economics and
management.

Unit IV
Difference Equation Models: Introduction to difference equations, first order linear difference
equations, second order difference equations, cobweb model, population models using recurrence
relations, discrete dynamical systems, applications in economics and biology.

Unit V
Numerical and Simulation Models: Numerical methods in modelling, Monte Carlo simulation,
system dynamics, computer simulation techniques, case studies in environmental, industrial, and
financial modelling.
