Mathematics (Further)

Course summary

- Develop an understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment - Develop the ability to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs - Extend range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems - Use mathematics as an effective means of communication. This course involves the study of algebraic techniques to a high level. Students will learn to solve first and second order linear differential equations, consider ‘Maclaurin’ and ‘Taylor’ series expansions and explore the topic of polar coordinates. All in all, this course serves as an excellent basis for the serious mathematician who is considering a Mathematical or Engineering based course at university.
