Course Description
Students will be provided with relevant case materials, which they will study in detailand produce a case report. The report is expected to include problem identification,
relevant data, methodology of analysis, solutions, implementation, interpretations,
conclusions, and so on. Oral presentation sessions will be arranged for students to
report their work and findings. Class participation in the form of questions and
discussions will be promoted in these sessions. Students will be allowed to propose
their own real-life case if they so wish, provided it is academically sound and
relevant. Independent research, critical thinking, and raising own ideas by students
will be encouraged.
There will be two cases for each student, supervised by two or more lecturers to
ensure an adequate coverage of mathematical techniques and application areas. Each
case will take roughly 7 weeks.
