* Undertake standard calculations using multivariable calculus
* Recognise and know how to use simple techniques from vector calculus including the divergence theorem
* Recognise and solve the heat and wave equation in one spatial dimension in a range of contexts
* Understand and implement a range of statistical techniques to analyse data
* Process data to test hypotheses with an appropriate statistical software package.
