NS 2022: Mathematics for Science II

Credits: 10

Length: Continuous throughout the year

Module Synopsis: 

Mathematics is the language of much of science and is an integral part of the Interdisciplinary Science programme. This module is designed to support your core work. Since you will each be entering the course with very different backgrounds in mathematics the course is designed flexibly to provide a gentle introduction to those who need it without taking up the time of those who have already had a broad experience in mathematics. To achieve this we ask students who have already come across the material to submit work ahead of classes. If this shows a mastery of the material then no further action is required. Otherwise you will join students who have not previously come across the material in two classes, after which you can have two attempts at completing the work for a Unit. In this way we expect each student to achieve mastery of all the material.
