I'll be doing MST209 next year. It is the most logical choice after MST121, MS221 and M208 the courses I have done sofar. The course looks quite interesting if you ask me. I already studied some topics based on the OpenLearn version of MST209 supported by corresponding MIT 18.02 / 18.03 video lectures.

Although I don't study mathematics because of the stuff offered in MST209 I accept that MST209 is part of the mathematical language shared by all scientists ( and engineers ). Besides that MST209 is packed with examples I can play with in Mathematica, do some Mathematica programming as well.Since I don't have the course materials yet ( haven't even registered yet ) I made a simple planning in a spreadsheet. Blocks / Units as rows, weeks as columns. The TMA cut-offs are estimated based on M208 data of this year.

My study 'capacity' in net study hours is roughly as follows on a weekly basis.NET STUDY(=RESOURCE) CAPACITYMonTueWedThuFriSatSunTotal2622-66= 24Total 24hrs or 90P / year. ( Read: Work + Study and do nothing else. )I scheduled the MST209 data in the schedule and it fits very well.

I usually work two weeks on a TMA. Because I use LaTeX, do a lot of quality-checks, and start asap on a TMA, which means I might need to study stuff while working on the TMA. Anyway this means that I have two weeks to study a block, 5 Units or roughly 20 sections, do exercises, etc. You all know the drill.Working on a degree is basically an excuse for spending time on math. In most circles it is considered anything between nerdy, nutty and plain vanilla crazy. ( Ignorance is NOT bliss.

) I am just explaining that my plan objective is not completing the project at the earliest possible date.I have the following options.- Blank MST209- MST209 + M381 Number theory and logic ( As in my original overall plan )- MST209 + M337 Complex analysis- MST209 + MST326 Mathematical methods and fluid mechanicsMy next step is, based on my study and OU experiences sofar, trying to 'fit in' another 30 point course ( any course for that matter ). If ( and only if!

Hi NiloLooks like you've got MST209 sussed. In your position I would be tempted to do M381 as an antidote to the pure maths and leave MST326 till the year after. There are rumours that M381 is going to be merged as part of a 60 point level 3 course which will replace Topology, Number theory and logic and group theory. The module is rumoured to contain stuff on metric spaces, Fields and Rings and Number theory. So no group theory or geometric topology or Logic.

This will probably happen in a couple of years. So M381 in its current form might only appear once again in 2013. The only disadvantage as far as I can see is that in 2012 MST326 is moving to an October start.

This does seem to be quite a period of change for the open university which makes long term planning difficult.As a final point (as if you haven't got enough on your plate already) Some diligent students from Cambridge University got together to produce lecture notes for the 1st year maths courses. For MST209 you would need differential equations, Vector calculus and Dynamics.

The notes are concise you can access them here.relevant notes are in part 1AThe example sheets for the undegraduate courses can be got here.also includes their second year mathematical methods course which goes way beyond MST209 and even MST326 as far as I can tell. Also the first year differential equations course includes an introduction to solutions of differential equations with variable coefficients by series. Something which is briefly touched on in MST326.Anyway plenty of stuff to get your teeth intoDuncan (from MS221) and I have done a couple of the rotational motion problems examples which you can get from here.wishes Chris. Sorry I've had quite a bad cold so not able to think coherently about mathematics. Will probably publish a review of the OU philosophy course I did last year.

Then a review of the statistics courses and then the music courses.Am currently working through a few units of the Complex Analysis course and trying to complete Brannan's book by the end of Christmas. Glad I worked through the basics of continuity before tackling the complex analysis as although you could probably get away with not knowing real analysis the explanations are a bit more concise so it helps to have done something like M208 or at least familiarise yourself with the analysis part of it before embarking on M337.

One intriguing thing is that the Argument of a complex number Arg(z) ie. Arctan (y/x) where z = x + iy is not continuous at a point a if a is a real number less than 0.This is because Arg(z) is defined so that it lies between -pi and + pi, To avoid ambiguities.

Mind blowing stuff!!Best wishes Chrisis not continous. Mathematics: is it the fabric of MEST? This is my voyage My continuous mission To uncover hidden structures To create new theorems and proofs To boldly go where no man has gone before (Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion, colloquially aka Raumpatrouille Orion was the first German science fiction television series.

Its seven episodes were broadcast by ARD beginning September 17, 1966. The series has since acquired cult status in Germany. Broadcast six years before Star Trek first aired in West Germany (in 1972), it became a huge success.).
