Description
This module gives students an opportunity to study in depth a topic in Management Mathematics, Statistics, Business Management or any combination of these that particularly interests them. This should normally involve a link with a particular company and may include some company based activities. The module should give students an idea of mathematical research and teaches key mathematical research and communication skills, including oral presentation of advanced material. Under regular supervision, about 400 hours of student effort will be devoted to study on the chosen topic and the preparation of written and oral reports.
