Course content
The discipline discusses the concepts of Models and Modelling, types of Models. The main types of modelling, including physical and symbolic modelling are analysed. The special attention is given to physical and mathematical modelling in geology. This discipline teaches the main principles of algorithms for mathematical modeling of geological processes and structures, analyses and determines the stress-strain state of the natural and technogene systems. This discipline uses real geological objects and situations as examples for modelling based on special software.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
lecture, practical class, seminar and independent work of student
Assessment methods and criteria
Results of educational activity of students grading are based on 100 grading scale: Final examination in the form of the written test: maximum grade is 40 points, passing grade is 24 points. Grading for work at practical classes - 40 points (passing grade is 24 points and 2 works (Test) each rated - 10 points (passing grade is 6 points). The final grade is based on the results as the sum for the module grades, practical classes grades and the results of the final test.
