Mechanics is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of forces that act on bodies and any resultant motion that they experience, and is widely used in physics and technology. Mechanics uses mathematics to enable us to model real-life situations and equip us with the skills we need to interpret and understand how things work, simplify and solve problems, identify limitations and draw conclusions.
You will learn of the range and power of mathematics and the importance of mathematical applications to society in general. This course encourages independent thinking and demands an enquiring approach, developing your questioning skills, logical reasoning, analysis, problem solving skills, creativity and the ability to communicate explanations concisely.
