Engineering Mathematics and Statistics

This module provides students with the mathematical knowledge for the various undergraduate engineering programmes in the faculty. Part 1 of this module begins with Vectors, Matrix Algebra and complex numbers.

Part 2 of these modules provides a basic understanding of statistical methods in the context of marine technology. It introduces students to basic, but crucial areas of statistics, and lays the foundation for future courses. This module covers area relating to probability, sampling, descriptive statistics, discrete distributions (binomial), continuous distributions (uniform, normal). Linear combinations of variables, central limit theorem, confidence intervals for means, variances and proportions and for comparisons of these between samples.
