This module is not approved as a discovery module
In this module, students will be introduced to ideas and methods of mathematical research. Examples and applications will be drawn from across the spectrum of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics.
This module will develop students’ skills as mathematical investigators and modellers, preparing them for subsequent project work and enabling them to undertake these activities in a wide variety of contexts following graduation. Lectures on key technical and professional skills will be supplemented with workshops where these can be practised.
On successful completion of the module students will have demonstrated the following learning outcomes relevant to the subject:
1. express their ideas mathematically and computationally;
2. investigate the output of a mathematical model;
3. generate visualisations of mathematical objects;
4. find, and evaluate the quality of, mathematical sources;
5. communicate the results of a mathematical investigation;
6. produce a piece of work as part of a team; and
7. reflect on their own practice as a mathematician.
Skills Learning Outcomes
