Description for 2020/21
This module is intended to help students with the transition from the methods based approach of A level to the higher levels of understanding and rigour expected at degree level. The module will develop students'¿ skills in many key mathematical techniques. The applications of these techniques to real-world¿ problems will be highlighted where appropriate.
This module aims to provide students with a solid foundation in Calculus at degree level and equip them with a knowledge of the necessary methods and techniques in applied mathematics for further study beyond FHEQ Level 4.
Intended Learning Outcomes
use relevant methods and results from the module to solve problems and communicate their solutions accurately and reliably with structured and coherent arguments: 1,2,3,4recognise and solve a variety of first and second order ordinary differential equations using appropriate methods: 3,4expand a given function into a series and use this to find approximate values of the function: 3,4use mathematical techniques in differentiation and integration, and for finding the limits of sequences and series: 1,2,4calculate partial derivatives and find local maxima/minima¿ of a function of more than one variable: 4
