One sixth of the course will look at Mechanics. In this part of the course you will learn about kinematics, the study of movement, forces and moments. The final sixth of the course will cover Statistics and in particular you will learn how to analyse a large data set, a key transferable skill. You will also cover advanced probability, data representation and data analysis.
