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.

This module aims to provide a sound, basic understanding of modern macroeconomics, its historical development and its application to theoretical and real-world problems, using diagrams, simple mathematics and writing.

This module aims to develop an understanding of consumer and producer behaviour, market outcomes and government policy using diagrams and simple mathematics.

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.

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.

The aim of this module is to develop further the main concepts of linear algebra.
