NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
What this module is about
This module focuses on the essential mathematical and statistical foundations needed for data science and artificial intelligence. The primary aim is to develop a solid understanding of the mathematical and statistical methodologies used in these fields and apply them in problem-solving. All assessments and data analysis will be carried out using the R programming language, but Python exercises are also encouraged for skill development since it is widely used in later modules.
Key learning objectives include:
- Building a strong understanding of core mathematical principles and concepts that support computing logic.
- Gaining theoretical and practical knowledge of programming and data-driven techniques.
- Learning how to interpret results from data science and AI tools effectively.
- Understanding real-world applications and contemporary challenges of computational tools.
- Encouraging a reflective and independent approach to learning.
