...Introduction - Applied mathematics is a key skill for practicing engineers and mathematical modelling is an ever-increasing field within engineering. . In Section 1 you will explore how vectors are used to model force and motion, and consider how problems involving vectors can be solved using geometry and trigonometry. In Section 2 you explore how to work with vectors...

...Introduction - The idea that our Solar System may not be unique, and that there might be planets orbiting other stars (or exoplanets), has been around for a long time. Important principles that underpin exoplanet research today were foretold by key discoveries in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In 1783, an unseen companion was presented as an explanation of the...

...Introduction - This free course will look at how chemists play an increasingly crucial role in ensuring a sustainable future for the planet. By focussing on the large scale production ammonia, one of the most important industrial chemicals, you will look at how chemists are leading the development of new manufacturing processes that use chemicals more efficiently, and in...
