Courses are divided into modules. In each year you will normally take modules totalling 120 credits. Required Modules
  • Calculus I (15 credits)
  • Linear Algebra & Geometry I (15 credits)
  • Sequences & Series (15 credits)
  • Introduction to Algebra (15 credits)
  • Calculus II (15 credits)
  • Linear Algebra & Geometry II (15 credits)
  • Introduction to Dynamical Systems (15 credits)
  • Probability & Statistics I (15 credits)

Optional Modules There are no optional modules for this course in Year 1.


Year 2

Year 2 Required Modules

  • Real Analysis (15 credits)
  • Classical Dynamics (15 credits)
  • Groups & Symmetries (15 credits)
  • Applied Differential Equations (15 credits)
  • Complex Analysis (15 credits)
Optional Modules

In addition, you are required to take three modules from a range of optional modules that may typically include:
