Description for 2024/25

This module is intended to help students with the transition from the methods based approach of A level Mathematics to the higher levels of understanding and rigour expected at degree level. The module will develop students' skills in mathematical techniques, mainly in differentiation and integration. It begins by revising the standard elementary functions and their properties and continues with the revision of basic results and techniques in differentiation. It then revises basic results and techniques in integration.

Aims
The aim of the module is to provide students with a deeper understanding of real numbers, limits, functions, differentiation, integration and geometry than that required at A level or equivalent.

Intended Learning Outcomes

state clearly and derive the key results of elementary algebra, trigonometry and calculus: 1,3
competently use core mathematical techniques in differentiation and integration, and for finding the limits of sequences and series
: 1,3
use the basic concepts and theory to develop mathematical and logical arguments
: 1,3
use the relevant methods and results to solve problems and communicate their solutions accurately and reliably with structured and coherent arguments: 1,2,3

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so. Please be aware that minor changes to modules, such as a change to an individual assessment, can occur up until enrolment, although we endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes. Details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/legalgovernancecompliance/governance/actcharterstatutesordinancesandregulations/studenttermsconditions/
