Abstract
These notes are for a summer school which will introduce mathematically minded year-12 high school students to aspects of resource modelling. The course considers the application of
(i) mathematics of exponential processes, and
(ii) numerical solution of differential equations to a currently important question - 'when will the world production of crude oil begin to dimish?'
A considerable portion of the summer school is devoted to electronic computing, using
- large scientific digital computers,
- mini-computers,
- micro-computers, and
- hybrid, analogue-to-digital computers; these are applied to the resource modelling problem and to some simulation processes.
