Summary module description:
This module covers application of transferable skills to technical topics.
Aims:
To enhance students' communication skills, with particular reference to the communication of mathematics, as well as developing skills
associated with group work and assimilating unfamiliar content, with the intent of reporting to both the specialist and non-specialist through a
variety of mediums.
Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of the module students are expected to be able to:
- Produce written technical reports involving unfamiliar mathematical content;
- Produce training materials on a mathematical topic (involving a computing element);
- Work effectively in teams.
Additional outcomes:
Outline content:
An important skill for the professional mathematician is the ability to apply their knowledge to an unfamilar problem and to communicate their
findings: additionally, mathematicians must be able to train non- mathematicians in a particular technical topic. This module will focus on (i)
developing the ability to transfer your existing subject knowledge to an unfamiliar application, and (ii) enhancing your communication skills
when addressing an audience who do share your particular mathematical background.
