Aims
To enhance students’ problem-solving skills through the use of mathematics and computer science techniques, including formal principles of modelling, enabling students to apply these techniques in the analysis and design of practical computational systems
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply appropriate mathematical concepts and operations to solve problems.
2.
Demonstrate critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
3.
Identify a problem and analyse it in terms of its significant parts and the information needed to solve it.
4.
Formulate and evaluate possible solutions to problems, and select and defend the chosen solutions.
