Overview
Applied Mathematics is the application of mathematics to the modelling and solving of practical, real-world problems. The emphasis throughout this three-year course is on developing andenhancing problem-solving skills.
Areas of applied mathematics taught on the course include:
The first-year course assumes no previous knowledge of applied mathematics and extensive tutorialsupport is available throughout.

Course Practicalities
Year 1: Three 5-credit modules in Applied Mathematics corresponds toa workload of about 7 lecture hours and 3 hours of tutorials or computer laboratory per week.
Years 2 and 3:Six 5-credit modules per year. Most modules consist of two lectures per week, together with associated homework that is discussed in tutorials.
Modules in applied mathematics that involve significant use of the computer have associated laboratory practicals. The School of Mathematical Sciences has dedicated, well-equipped computerlaboratories for this purpose.
Assessment
Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment.
Application Procedure
Refer to CK101and CK108.
