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

Vectors – their interpretation, manipulation, representation and use
\nComplex numbers – their manipulation, representation and use
\nDifferentiation – interpretation and techniques
\nApplications of\u00a0Differentiation – curves and their key properties
\nIntegration – interpretation and techniques
\nSequences and Series – constants, power, Maclaurin and Taylor<\/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 vectors and complex numbers.
\n2. Select and apply appropriate analytical methods to solve engineering problems.
\n3. Apply differentiation\u00a0 to problem related to engineering and science.
\n4. Understand the application of integration in engineering and science.
\n5. Understand the use of series in the representation of functions in applied problems.<\/p>\n

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

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

Tutorial question solutions are provided with solutions. Additional support is provided with MathScope.<\/p>\n

Formative tests in tutorial periods, 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 are set – each is worth 50% of the module mark.\u00a0 For a more detailed breakdown, please see the current Assessment Brief of the module.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
