Description<\/h4>\n

You will learn core mathematics and computing techniques essential to physics and engineering. Topics include: ordinary differential equations, series (of constants, power and Fourier), simulation, and programming. The module is taught through a combination of lectures, problem tutorial, and computer classes.<\/p>\n

Aims<\/h4>\n

1.\u00a0 To develop a knowledge and understanding in the area of mathematics including the origin and limitations of the associated principles.
\n2.\u00a0 To develop analytical and numerical problem solving skills in the area of mathematics.
\n3.\u00a0 To develop computing skills in the areas of symbolic computing and programing.<\/p>\n

Knowledge & Understanding<\/h4>\n

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
\n(1) Demonstrate an understanding of the principles and their origins in the area of mathematics.
\n(2) Demonstrate competence in the specification of problems using the principles of mathematics and their analytical, computational and numerical solution.<\/p>\n

On completion the student will have had the opportunity to:
\n(3) Demonstrate problem solving skills.
\n(4) Demonstrate key analytical and numerical skills.
\n(5) Demonstrate key computing skills.<\/p>\n

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

The module is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorial classes and computing laboratory. The assessments are a combination of class test and computing assignments.
\nA set of problem solving exercises is provided for guided independent learning, which forms the basis of formative assessment and feedback in the tutorial classes.
\nVerbal feedback is given in the computing laboratory for both formative and summative assessment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
