15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

This module provides a foundation in mathematical and scientific computing techniques used in various fields, including artificial intelligence, artificial life, data science, and computational neuroscience.

Topics include:

  • vectors and matrices
  • differential calculus
  • numerical integration
  • probability and hypothesis testing
  • dynamical systems theory.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
