Modelling with Python

Online training course
Written By Steven Scott

  • Welcome to this introductory-level course on modelling. This course will guide you through developing a mathematical model for a lake, understanding Python's structure and functionality, and setting up and solving problems using numerical software.

    You'll adopt a task-based approach to develop composite models, apply generic modelling procedures to create complex models, and use dependency graphs to analyse intricate systems.

    Combining these skills, you’ll tackle a practical problem in medicines manufacturing.

  • This course includes the following modules:

    • The Principles of Modelling and the Modelling Building Process (steps 1-4)

    • The model building process (steps 5-8)

    • An introduction to Generic Modelling, Dependency Graphs and Composite Models

    • Modelling in Medicines Manufacturing

    • Additional optional exercises

  • The main objectives of this course are to:

    • Develop a mathematical model for a simple system, in this case, a lake

    • Understand the structure and functionality of Python

    • Setup the problem on a numerical software package and solve it

    • Understand the task-based approach to developing composite models

    • Apply generic modelling procedures to write your own complex models

    • Use dependency graphs to analyse more complex systems

    • Combine the above learning outcomes to use the knowledge in a practical problem based on medicines manufacturing

      Note: Intro to Python and Intro to Machine Learning should be done as prerequisites to this course.

  • Engineers and scientists in pharmaceuticals and bioprocessing - Professionals working in medicine manufacturing who need to apply mathematical modelling techniques to optimise processes and improve decision-making.

    Data scientists and computational modellers - Those with a background in Python and machine learning who want to expand their skills in modelling and simulation.

    Professionals transitioning into computation modelling - Those with experience in related fields (e.g. chemical engineering, physics, or biology) who want to gain practical skills in modelling and simulation.
