Course co-ordinator(s): David Bourne (Edinburgh), Dr Andres Barajas Paz (Dubai).
Aims:
This module builds on the differential and integral calculus introduced in Calculus A, before moving on to introduce the basics of mathematical modelling techniques using first and second order ordinary differential equations. The module develops integration methods such as integration by parts and reduction formulae and describes applications of integration including general areas under a curve. Solution methods for first and second order differential equations are introduced and used to investigate various physical problems.
