Mathematics

Course summary

'Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.' Bertrand Russell 1918-Mysticism and Logic. Mathematics is all about effective communication in a world that has become increasingly complex; it is very powerful in our society. Mathematics gives us the power to understand and influence processes where the non-mathematician has to accept the 'expert' view. Mathematics might be your opportunity to take the initiative. Algebra remains very important and you also discover the concept of calculus as well as mechanics and statistics.
