Mathematics courses There are two main mathematics courses available to Diploma students. Mathematical Methods is the most demanding and is suitable if you have taken mathematics courses as part of your first degree or have specialized in mathematics in secondary school. MA107-ST105 Quantitative Methods is in the main alternative and brings students up to the level where they can handle the September Course in Mathematics and Statistics. MA107-ST105 is actually partly mathematics and partly statistics, switching from mathematics to statistics in January. In addition to these main options, MA200 Further Mathematical Methods is available to those with a very strong mathematical background.
Statistics courses There are three statistics courses.
ST102 Elementary Statistical Theory is a demanding course on the same level as Mathematical Methods. ST100 Basic Statistics is the easiest course. In between is the statistics component of MA107-ST105. Econometrics courses Two econometrics courses are offered, EC221 Principles of Econometrics and EC220 Introduction to Econometrics. The syllabuses for the two courses are very similar.
