An Introduction to Mathematica (MATH0032)

The Mathematica system is a high-level computing environment including computer algebra, graphics and programming. At the basic level, it can be used as a scientific calculator; at more advanced levels, it incorporates all the features of classical programming languages such as PASCAL, LISP, MIRANDA, C, etc. It is particularly suitable for mathematics, as it incorporates symbolic manipulation and automates many mathematical operations.

Italian Culture during Fascism (ITAL0006)

Module Description: 

This module introduces students to Italian Fascism, looking at how its ideology, policies, and propaganda strategies affected Italy’s culture and society in various areas, such as school education, gender construction, the publication industry, cinema, and the artistic production. By looking at a variety of primary sources from the period 1922-1943, such as school textbooks, newsreels, short stories, and movies, students are encouraged to reflect upon issues of censorship and freedom of speech, nationalism and internationalism, propaganda, education, and the relationship between culture and politics. A variety of secondary sources help students develop an awareness of the different methods used in historical research.
