The CQF has just announced that those that have completed or enrol in the CQF will get access to the Certificate in Mathematical methods (CM2) course! This course contains 39 x 2.5 hour lectures and was formally offered at £9,950 or $16,999.

The Certificate in Mathematical Methods (CM2) is an intensive program covering a variety of mathematical methods, with special focus on those which are applicable to real-world problems. Delegates will learn subjects that are normally covered in the first two years of a university mathematics degree. These sessions will be accompanied by problem sheets, designed to develop confidence and hence extend the course participants’ understanding of the material covered in the lecture.

A fee of £2,950/$5,995 will be charged to CQF delegates who want to get actually accredited/examined in the CM2 course, however there is no charge for delegates accessing the lectures and course materials at their own convenience.

Current delegates/alumni - please note that the these lectures will be available from June 2010 onwards only.

More info about the course
The impact of mathematics in the real world has never been greater. In addition to the classical branches of science and engineering, we are now seeing the application of mathematics to medicine, economics and finance, political and social science as well established sections of applied mathematics. The general view is that mathematics has “hijacked” many of the other well known non-mathematical disciplines.

Naturally, the demand for good mathematicians globally is at an all-time high, while the availability of such trained professionals who are able to apply these skills in the workplace continues to lag. Simply put, demand exceeds supply.

The CM2 has been designed with all of this in mind, but the most important motivating factor has been the overwhelming interest developed by CQF alumni for acquiring even greater mathematical knowledge and with a strongly applied flavour. The course syllabus will include the following topics:
• Numerical Analysis
• Functions of a Complex Variable
• Linear and Nonlinear Differential Equations
• Partial Differential Equations
• Integral Equations
• Perturbation Methods
• Transform Methods
