Computing for Mathematical Physics (PHAS0012)

Outline and Aims:

The module aims to introduce students to the use of modern computer packages for the solution, by both analytic and numerical methods, of a wide range of problems in applied mathematics in science. This skill is of particular importance for students on the Theoretical Physics programmes. It is based on a state of the art system for mathematical computation, and will introduce key foundation concepts in computation. The module will reinforce and apply concepts of mathematical physics being taught in other first year modules.

Teaching and Learning Methodology: 

The course is based on the Mathematica© programming language and is delivered via weekly practical computing sessions. Computing sessions will consist of demonstrations of the features of the language followed by application of the new material to problems under the guidance of the course teacher.

In addition to timetabled computing hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.

Introductory British Sign Language (PALS0026)

This is an introductory module in British Sign Language for students beginning MSc Language Sciences (Sign Language and Deaf Studies) who do not already have BSL level 1, or equivalent. The module teaches basic concepts of BSL from a linguistic perspective. The module will be taught face to face in British Sign Language via BSL/English interpretation for non-signing students. Each session will consist of lecture and discussion.

The module covers key elements of Financial Management and associated quantitative and qualitative aspects. These are essential ingredients of the skills and...
