This OpenLearn course provides a sample of Level 2 study in Mathematics...John Napier: Learning outcomes - After studying this course, you should be able to: give examples of factors that motivated Napier to invent calculation aids understand how logarithms...

...multiplication are investigated, and you will see that matrices can be thought of as a generalisation of vectors. The dot product of vectors is used to define multiplication of matrices. Towards the end of the section the matrix operation of transposition and some important types of matrices are introduced. Section 4 introduces the inverse of a matrix and gives you a...

...Multiple companies, work teams and circumstances were involved over time. (BP, 2010, pp. 3, 5) [Described image] Figure 5 The Deepwater Horizon accident The investigation found that there were eight interlinked events that were found to contribute to the overall accident: A cement barrier designed to isolate the hydrocarbons in the well was inadequate. A valve designed to...

...creating the wave. Apertures and diffraction Andrew Norton shows what happens when waves pass through apertures of different sizes. Diffraction of light Andrew Norton uses lasers to show what happens when light passes through a small aperture. Passing light through multiple apertures Andrew Norton shows how diffraction gratings produce characteristic sets of light spots....
