Learning outcomes

1.
Be familiar with a number of new ideas and techniques from calculus and linear algebra, and be aware of their application to solve a variety of real world problems.
2.
Appreciate the role that computers can play in problem solving (including being aware of their weaknesses), and be able to use a package such as MATLAB to carry out routine calculations.
3.
Be able to present coherent written solutions to routine and practical problems, and when asked, to givean explanation or justification for certain mathematical claims.
4.
Be able to draw analogies between seemingly different concepts defined in different contexts.
5.
Be able to cope with a higher level of abstraction so that more complicated applied problems can be solved, and similarities can be drawn between different problems.
