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.
A16 Uncertainty quantification
Advanced pathA: Advanced appliedplannedabout 160 h (planning estimate)
Planned: syllabus only, no teaching material yet. Nothing on this page can be studied; it describes what the course would cover.
Named in: Advanced applied mathematics pathway

Concept-level units
Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.
- Sources of uncertainty
- Forward propagation
- Sampling
- Sensitivity
- Surrogates
- Inverse uncertainty and validation
Assessable outcome
Quantify and communicate uncertainty in a scientific-computing pipeline.
Assessment design
- deeper problem sets
- reconstruction of an unfamiliar argument
- advanced source reading
- cumulative examination or substantial project
cumulative; uses spaced retrieval
