Under construction. This area is a framework being built: most courses have no teaching material yet, and things may change or break. Private self-study. Not an official programme and not recognised by any ministry or school. No qualification, mark or document is issued, and “years 1 to 3” and “advanced” are names of study paths only.

Why this course
Turns real questions into models, and tests them: scaling, sensitivity and validation.
Prerequisites
Concept-level units
Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.
- Model formulation
- Scaling and nondimensionalization
- Conservation laws
- Parameter estimation
- Sensitivity
- Validation and model limitations
Assessable outcome
Build, analyze, and validate a model rather than only fit a curve.
Assessment design
- topic exercises
- mixed problem sets
- unseen proof or derivation problems
- computational project
- cumulative examination
cumulative; includes a project; uses spaced retrieval
Resources
Every title here is candidate, unverified unless marked verified. Titles were suggested while planning. Nobody has checked that they exist, what they cost or how they are licensed.
