Offered to

PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY

Course Objective

This course is a bridge between mathematics and numerical modelling. The student which has no mathematical background, find the principles of applied mathematics and dynamics oceanography, extend them in a natural and systematic manner to numerical methods. It motivates the student and illustrates the methods with solutions to numerous practical problems drawn from civil engineering and oceanography.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   refresh the knowledge of the mathematics
2   compare the analytic solutions with the numerical solutions of the mathematical
3   understand the principles of applied methamatics and dynamics oceanography
4   to have opportunity to remember the preliminary fundementals of mathematics and dynamical oceanography
