Math, Physics, Quantitative Methods Course
Introduction:
The Certificate of Maths, physics and quantitative methods course will provide the skills to develop a precise quantitative understanding of the nature, structure and evolution of the physical world through the language of mathematics. For physicists, math is a tool used to answer questions. For example, Newton invented calculus to help describe motion. For mathematicians, physics can be a source of inspiration, with theoretical concepts such as general relativity and quantum theory providing an impetus for mathematicians to develop new tools.
The study of the mathematical models of physics by mathematical methods not only makes it possible to obtain the quantitative characteristics of physical phenomena and to compute with a given degree of accuracy the course of real processes, but also provides the possibility of gaining insight into the very nature of physical phenomena, revealing hidden laws and predicting new effects.
This course will provide participants with an understanding to advanced problem-solving skills and the ability to think logically and critically about complex situations and have a high level of mathematical ability, IT proficiency and communication skills thus providing graduates with opportunities in a diverse range of careers.
