The applied module offered to the students consists of Mechanics and Statistics. As part of Mechanics, students study the motion of a particle either with no external forces or under the influence of external forces acting on it as well as studying the three laws of Newton and their effect on the motion of an object in greater depth. Students are also introduced to moments. As part of Statistics, students study statistical sampling, probability, Correlation and Regression, Binomial distributions, Normal distributions, and hypothesis testing.
