Mathematics

Course summary

Each year, one unit of core mathematics and one unit of applied mathematics are studied. This provides students with both a broad experience of key mathematical ideas and the opportunity to extend their technical skills to a sophisticated level. The core units cover a variety of algebraic, numerical and calculus techniques. These include the binomial theorem, summation series, and the theory of logarithms and the process of differentiation. The modules explore how these techniques can be used to solve graphical and contextual problems. The applied units provide students with an understanding of modeling and the techniques used to analyse and predict using mathematical models, both in Statistics and Mechanics.
