Modelling and its Applications

All students in the program must attend the Seminar in the fall and winter terms, for the duration of their time in the program. The seminar will include presentations from guest speakers, as well as faculty from the program, and may occasionally be combined with the existing MS2Discovery Seminar Series events devoted to mathematical and statistical modelling. Such events frequently feature world-renowned researchers in all application domains of the program. This seminar not only will expose students to the challenges of real-world problems, but also will teach them from first-hand experience how to communicate the modelling tools in the application domains with their own technical language. Students are also expected to attend other specialized research seminars, as appropriate. Students are required to attend a minimum of 6 presentations and write a short summary of at least 6 presentations each year (September to April). Graded as complete/incomplete
