Module overview

The module provides advanced mathematics training necessary for students planning to specialise in physical chemistry, computational chemistry, spectroscopy, data science and quantitative finance. It also aims to provide training of rational reasoning skills in a subject-independent way: studying mathematical proofs and derivations introduces a more rigorous logical system than practical or applied skills training alone.

First year students should be aware that this module requires A-level mathematics. There are no pre-requisite modules for second and third year students.
