Maths for Engineers III module (GA20007)
Continue your development of core mathematical techniques for engineering, covering statistics and probability, integration, and vectors and matrices
This module continues the development of mathematics most relevant to engineering practice, covering material required for the accreditation of engineering degree courses.
Building on Maths for Engineers I and II, you will study statistics and probability, further integration techniques, and vectors and matrices.
The module is delivered through lectures supported by material on My Dundee, with built-in tutorial sessions where you can get individual guidance and feedback.
Assessment consists of two class tests (75%) and two low-stakes assignments (25%), with one class test and one assignment per semester.
This module is delivered as part of a Graduate Apprenticeship, with teaching taking place one day a week on Dundee's City Campus.
