Across these two units students undertake a major piece of independent research work suitable for students seeking further entry to Higher Degree Research (such as an EdD or PhD). The independent nature of...

This unit is primarily concerned with extending concepts of single variable calculus into the domain of several variables. It also looks at the construction of periodic functions with Fourier series. The calculus section of this unit is focussed on dealing with functions of several variables, of which the typical case is z = f(x,y). Functions like this are important because they describe many of...
