Omschrijving	In the first two years of the bachelor program mathematical models of different kinds have been treated in various courses, sometimes in large detail and sometimes as examples of the theory. This course aims at providing a more systematic and fundamental treatment of classes of mathematical models as frequently arising in Applied Mathematics. The emphasis is on the common mathematical framework and the exploration of the mathematical aspects behind these models. Below a list of topics to be treated: - Dimensional analysis and scaling. - The continuum description: densities, fluxes, conservation laws and constitutive relations. - Waves, vibrations and light: wave reflection and refraction, acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, linearization, perturbation, soliton, group velocity, wave front, shock waves. - Elastic deformations, stretching, shear and torsion. - Heat flow, natural and forced convection. - Nonlinear models in science and technology. - Introduction to network modeling of large-scale systems. - Input-output partitioning of interconnection variables, and differential-algebraic systems. - Black-box and grey-box modeling; introduction to system identification. - Port-based modeling of complex systems by interconnection through power-variables. - Port-Hamiltonian systems theory of complex multi-physics systems. - Examples from various physical and engineering domains. - Introduction to distributed-parameter port-Hamiltonian systems, and examples.
