You can contact staff by:

  • Calling +64 7 838 4466 select option 1, then enter the extension.
  • Extensions starting with 4, 5, 9 or 3 can also be direct dialled:
    • For extensions starting with 4: dial +64 7 838 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 5: dial +64 7 858 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 9: dial +64 7 837 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 3: dial +64 7 2620 + the last 3 digits of the extension e.g. 3123 = +64 7 262 0123.

Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
In this paper, you will acquire some of the basic tools of applied mathematics. The goal is to introduce you to a number of fundamental methods that can be applied to ordinary differential equations as well as partial differential equations, which form the basis of many applications found in both nature and industry.
