Compulsory modules

Analysis I

The aims of this module are:

  • To introduce the notion of convergence as this applies to sequences and series.
  • To introduce the notion of continuous function of one real variable.
  • To provide a firm basis for future modules in which the idea of convergence and continuity is used.
  • To help students recognize the necessity and power of rigorous argument.

Anatomy and Physiology

The aim of this module is to develop the students' understanding of the structure, function and homeostatic regulation of the human body with reference to integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems.

Introduction to Sport Biomechanics and Kinesiology

The aims of this module are to develop students' theoretical and practical understanding of the mechanics of human motion, especially as related to sporting performance; and the anatomical structures of the body and the ways that the muscular and skeletal systems interact during motion.

Linear Algebra and Geometry I

The aims of this module are:

  • To introduce basic ideas of vector spaces.
  • To introduce linear transformations and explain their relationship to matrices.
  • To provide the basic methods of linear algebra for other modules throughout all mathematics-based programmes.

Introductory Probability and Statistics

The aims of this module are to:

  • Introduce students to the basic concepts of probability and statistics.
  • Illustrate the relevance of these concepts to practical problem-solving.

A part aim for this module is to enable students to become aware of and develop their academic, professional and personal skills through Personal Best. Personal Best is a development programme available to all students at Loughborough University.
