Calculus I/II
Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change. In this module there will be considerable emphasis throughout on the need to argue with much greater precision and care than you had to at school. With the support of your fellow students, lecturers and other helpers, you will be encouraged to move on from the situation where the teacher shows you how to solve each kind of problem, to the point where you can develop your own methods for solving problems. By the end of the year you will be able to answer interesting questions like, what do we mean by `infinity’?
Read more about these modules, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study):
Sets and Numbers
It is in its proofs that the strength and richness of mathematics is to be found. University mathematics introduces progressively more abstract ideas and structures, and demands more in the way of proof, until most of your time is occupied with understanding proofs and creating your own. Learning to deal with abstraction and with proofs takes time. This module will bridge the gap between school and university mathematics, taking you from concrete techniques where the emphasis is on calculation, and gradually moving towards abstraction and proof.

Introduction to Probability
This module takes you further in your exploration of probability and random outcomes. Starting with examples of discrete and continuous probability spaces, you will learn methods of counting (inclusion-exclusion formula and multinomial coefficients), and examine theoretical topics including independence of events and conditional probabilities. You will study random variables and their probability distribution functions. Finally, you will study variance and co-variance and famous probability theorems.
Year Two
Combinatorics
In this module you learn the basics about discrete structures that lie at the heart of many real-world problems. A key notion is that of a graph, which is an abstract mathematical model for a network, such as a street network, a computer network, or a network of friendships. You learn to argue about these structures formally, and to prove interesting theorems about them. This will train your ability to think outside of the box.
