A series of lectures will be delivered using whiteboard and data projector.
The Institute Managed Learning Environment will be used to interactively communicate with students e.g. on-line test, discussion forums, reference information
Mathematical software (e.g. Matlab, C) will be used by students to re-enforce the mathematical principles and practices
Module Aim:
To give the student sufficient mathematical knowledge to support the other modules of the course and provide a solid foundation for further studies
