Compulsory modules

The aims of this module are:

  • To introduce the notion of convergence as this applies to sequences and series.
  • To introduce the notion of continuous function of one real variable.
  • To provide a firm basis for future modules in which the idea of convergence and continuity is used.
  • To help students recognize the necessity and power of rigorous argument.

The aims of this module are:

  • To learn how to programme in a standard computer programming language.
  • To learn elementary numerical methods and associated theory.
  • To apply numerical methods to solve mathematical problems of appropriate level of difficulty.
  • To implement numerical methods on the computer and to critically interpret numerical results.

The aims of this module are:

  • To introduce basic ideas of vector spaces.
  • To introduce linear transformations and explain their relationship to matrices.
  • To provide the basic methods of linear algebra for other modules throughout all mathematics-based programmes.

The aims of this module are:

  • To develop logical skills.
  • To provide students with an appropriate language for the study of mathematics.
