Description
The aim of the course is to bring students from a background of diverse A-level syllabuses to a uniform level of condence and competence in vectors, complex numbers, calculus and differential equations. The course covers vectors, complex numbers, standard functions of a real variable, methods of integration, ordinary differential equations and probability. Each topic is given a formal treatment and illustrated by examples of varying degrees of difficulty. There are two tests which are part of this course: a vectors test and a calculus test. The vectors test takes place around weeks 5 or 6 of term 1 and counts as part of the course work. This test is offered once. On the other hand, the calculus test is offered several times during the term,consisting of 10 basic calculational questions; you must get at least 9 correct answers to pass.It is necessary to pass this test, which you may attempt several times, in order to pass the module.
