Course Modules

As a result of initial planning and negotiation, a learning contract will be drawn up between individual students and the module co-ordinator. The content will, therefore, be negotiated in the light of identified needs.

Number theory is the study of whole numbers. Number facts have intrigued most people at some stage in their education, and in addition to its inherent fascination, number theory has turned out to have practical applications in recent years such

The content of all the mathematics modules follows the overarching principle of developing students’ technical ability, development of knowledge into areas of mathematical structure, proof and formality, continuity, discrete procedures, limiting processes, mathematical modelling and interpretation of space. This module’s

Statistics involves the analysis and interpretation of data with a view to making more informed decisions. As such, its importance in the 21st century can hardly be overstated: statistical techniques are fundamental tools in data science, economics and biology, to

This module introduces you to modelling using systems of linear equations, basic and advanced matrix algebra.

This module provides a grounding in the theory of probability, and is an essential precursor for the subsequent study of mathematical statistics and operations research. The emphasis will be on modelling real situations, including probability calculations motivated by statistical problems.

This module aims to develop techniques in the use of probability in real-world contexts. Exploration of the theoretical mathematical models used to describe patterns of events that occur in time, and in space.

This module builds on the material covered within the first year calculus courses. Calculus will be extended to functions of more than one variable and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integrals.

This module explores how complex analysis is concerned with extending the familiar notions of differentiation and integration to functions of a complex variable. Perhaps surprisingly, this apparent increase in sophistication results in a host of spectacularly strong results. Applications abound;

Building on the techniques introduced in your first year Applied Mathematics module, this looks to develop a deeper understanding of the field of applied mathematics.
