Welcome to the Core Maths 2 module. This module forms part of the International Foundation Year programme. The overall aim of this programme is to increase your confidence in using mathematics and develop your analytical processing and academic study skills to meet the mathematical demands of your chosen first degree course at Royal Holloway.

Mathematics is a requirement of many first degrees, including computer science, psychology and economics. The course aims to consolidate and build on your current knowledge and develop a greater understanding in pure mathematics and statistics.

This module will take you through the practical aspects of collecting and representing data visually and numerically to enable interpretation and extrapolation. You will meet theoretical probability and both discrete and continuous probability distributions and learn how to make decisions. Your knowledge of scatter graphs will be refined to enable correlation and regression analysis.

Finally, you will engage in group activities as well as working individually. The emphasis is on independent learning with the support of the teacher.



If you have any general module queries, have trouble competing/uploading your assignment, or just want to discuss your progress, please contact Elizabeth Kaplunov (elizabeth.kaplunov@rhul.ac.uk), your Core Maths Module tutor.

If you need specific English writing help, you should speak to your AES tutor and/or Nicole Yip (wai.yip@rhul.ac.uk) and they can tell you about the language support available to you.
