This module is designed for students in the Faculty of Science with good maths and a Grade C or above in "A" level Mathematics. It covers differentiation, integration, vectors, partial differentiation, and introductory statistical methods. In addition to the theoretical background, there is an emphasis on applied examples, and the use of numerical computing software (Matlab). Previous knowledge of calculus is assumed. This unit is the first in a series of four maths units for students across the Faculty of Science, that provide a solid undergraduate mathematical training. The following units are Mathematics for Scientists II, III, and IV.
