Aims:
To present an introduction to further standard theoretical methods for solving ordinary differential equations and to instill an understanding of the use of orthogonal polynomials.

Learning Teaching & Assessment Strategy:
The basic theory and illustrative examples are presented and developed in formal lectures. Complementary tailor-made example sheets are provided. These are discussed, and assistance with their solution is provided in tutorials, either on a one-to-one basis or as a staff or student-led group, as appropriate.
Formative exercises encourage the on-going digestion of the material, with the extent of the cumulative knowledge and skills acquired assessed through a coursework assignments and a formal examination.
