The module will introduce the students to the concepts of normal growth and development throughout the life-cycle and the impact of deficiencies at critical stages. The effect of epigenetic changes on growth and development will be examined. Some of the areas covered include: energy balance and body weight regulation, nutrition in pregnancy, nutrition and the skeleton, women health, effects of dietary deficiencies on growth and development and role of nutrition in the prevention of age-associated diseases.

The aims of the course are: (i) to give students the chance to work in depth on an advanced mathematical topic (ii) to give students an introduction to the methods and experience of research, and so make them better prepared to start a research degree or to work in a research-related job (iii) to develop students' ability to organize their work on a substantial project iv) to develop students' ability to present their work, both in written and oral form. The course will be taken as a compulsory unit in the final year of the 4-year MSci in single or joint-honours Mathematics degrees.

This course continues from the course MATH0016 (previously MATH2401) and aims to introduce further tools required to solve the partial differential equations which arise in applied mathematics. It first looks at the application of the separation of variables method in cylindrical and spherical coordinates. This necessitates a study of Bessel's and Legendre's equations and their solutions. This is done via a combination of the Frobenius method of series solution of ODE's together with generating functions. The course then moves on to study transform methods of solving PDEs, complementing the method of separation of variables and concentrating on the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The necessary techniques of integration in the complex plane will be reviewed.
