(a) A series of lectures will be delivered using whiteboard and data projector.
(b) The Institute Managed Learning Environment will be used to interactively communicate with students e.g. on-line test, discussion forums, reference information
(c) Mathematical software (e.g. Matlab) will be used by students to re-enforce the mathematical principles and practices
