modules

Mathematics Matters. These words are often stated. In this module we put these words to the test. You will build core computational skills and use these to explore important societal themes from a mathematical perspective. A distinctive feature of the module is that each exploration starts with a plenary-style colloquium from an expert scientist or engineer. Then, working in small classroom-based guided group work sessions, you will develop and apply a variety of mathematical, statistical and computational techniques either, inspired by, or to analyse and dissect, the expert opinion. You will communicate the analyses from your group to your peers for discussion and report your findings. Pre-requisite: A Level in Mathematics, or equivalent
