Induction materials

The MSc for Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing recruits students from across the physical sciences: this brings valuable diversity to our cohort but it also means that not all students are at the same level of knowledge in any of the subject we build upon in the taught course. When the year begins, we launch relatively quickly into workshops in probability and statistics as well as scientific computing, so there is not much time to revise material that some of you may have already seen, but which would be less familiar to others. As a result, we have put together material for self study over the vacation before you begin your course. This focusses on two areas:

• Mathematics and Statistics
• Python programming

Please have a look at these materials over the summer.
