入学要求：
学术要求： Applications are invited from graduates with a good honours degree, at least a 2.ii or equivalent, in any subject with a sufficient level of mathematics and/or statistics. As well as mathematics graduates, applicants from the sciences and engineering (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Computing, Engineering, Biology) are strongly encouraged to apply.

课程特征 Course Features：
This one-year taught MSc is designed to address this fundamentally important issue and to equip graduates with the mathematics needed to work in demanding positions. The teaching involves a combination of lectures, practical computing classes and research projects. We welcome applications from graduates with a good background in mathematics at the first-degree level who wish to develop their skill set in this exciting field.
The last ten years have seen mathematics play an ever increasingly important role in this very "real world" problem. Nowhere is this more evident then in the study of systems exhibiting "highly irregular" behaviour.
Analysis of Internet Package Transfer
Manufacturing Process Control
Fluctuations in the Human Heart Beat
Global Weather Patterns
All of the above systems have complicated behaviour and the mathematical ideas necessary for analysis of such systems are often very deep. Thus graduates who have a firm understanding of these notions are very much in demand in the commercial world.
课程内容 Course Content：
The course is split into three terms: Autumn, Spring and Summer.
The Autumn term is based in the Mathematics Department and consists of the following taught modules and practical classes:
Dynamical Systems and Biological Modelling (10 credits)
Statistics & Probability (10 credits)
C++ Programming for MMA (10 credits)
Applied Partial Differential Equations (10 credits)
Transferable and Generic Skills (10 credits)
The Spring term is once again based in the Department of Mathematics. The courses expand upon the topics of the first term including more advanced theory and techniques. The taught modules and practical classes are:
Numerical Methods for PDEs (10 credits)
Stochastic Processes (10 credits)
In addition, you take 30 credits of optional M-level modules chosen from those offered to undergraduate and masters level students. You are strongly encouraged to take the MMath Module "Fractals and Chaos", since this is a very good addition to your course, but this is not compulsory. You may choose three 10 credit modules over the two terms, or a combination of one 20 credit module and one 10 credit module.
The module descriptions have been approved by the Board of Studies, and it is the Board's expectation that the advertised syllabus for each module will be covered. However, the module descriptions do not constitute a legal contract.
The Summer term is devoted entirely to the work towards the MSc dissertation, which may happen in the Department of Mathematics or in placement. By placement we mean a project supervised outside the Department of Mathematics within the University of York, or a project supervised by someone from one of our industrial partners.
