...Open University course M343 Applications of probability, a third level course that develops ideas about probability and random processes that were introduced in the Open University course M248 Analysing data. The approach adopted is to develop a probability model for a practical situation and then to investigate the properties of the model. Students are expected to be...

...Open University course MST210 Mathematical methods, models and modelling, a core second level applied mathematics course for several mathematics and mathematics-related degrees. The course is designed to teach ‘pencil and paper’ techniques that are at the core of applied mathematics. Students are expected to be familiar with standard mathematical notation and with...

...Open University course M303 Further pure mathematics, a third level course that introduces important topics in the theory of pure mathematics including: number theory; the algebraic theory of rings and fields; and metric spaces. Students studying M303 develop their understanding of group theory and real analysis and see how some of the ideas are applied to cryptography...

...source of iron. No Egyptian archaeological evidence exists of iron smelting until 6th century BC, although occasional early iron artefact finds caused uncertainty.
