Students will be expected to develop their understanding of the process of mathematical modelling through the study of mathematical methods and to use these skills to: • Abstract from a real situation • Solve problems • Interpret and communicate results Mathematics is not regarded as easy but is well respected. At the end of the course students will have improved their analytical skills, become more independent learners and better at problem solving. These skills and the knowledge developed on the course are highly regarded by Higher Education courses and potential employers.
