Description<\/h4>\n

\u200bThis module concentrates on the basic underlying mathematical skills required in science and engineering. You will develop the mathematical knowledge and the ability to develop the methodologies and modelling skills for real problems. The relationship between the various aspects of this module and their role to scientists and engineers in the workplace will be highlighted.<\/p>\n

Aims<\/h4>\n

To become familiar with:<\/p>\n

Algebraic manipulation in scientific problems and transposition of formulae
\nCo-ordinate systems: Cartesian and polar. Graphical solution for experimental problems
\nLogarithmic functions
\nLaws of decay and growth and their application
\nMatrices<\/p>\n

Knowledge & Understanding<\/h4>\n

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

1. Understand and use various methods and techniques in algebra.
\n2. Select and apply appropriate analytical methods to solve engineering problems.
\n3. Transpose formulas related to engineering and science.
\n4. Understand the application of the laws of growth and decay in engineering and science.
\n5. Understand the advantages of matrices in solving problems.<\/p>\n

Learning, Teaching and Assessment<\/h4>\n

The module is delivered by lectures and tutorials.<\/p>\n

Tutorial question solutions are carried out with smaller groups of students and additional support is provided with MathScope plus full solutions to all tutorial questions are provided.<\/p>\n

Formative tests, which are applied throughout the module, will guide the next steps in instructions and help identify learning needs to ensure success.<\/p>\n

Students could apply subjects from the Mathematics modules to directly solve problems from the Physics modules. This is to reflect the increasing focus of A-Level on cross-disciplinary problem solving.<\/p>\n

Two assignments constitute the summative coursework of this module.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
