The Open University offers individual course and
degree programmes to adults who study part-time and at a distance, and who may
enrol without any previous qualifications. This means that students coming to
our level 2 physics course (studied both by those who intend to take physics
further and by those who would just like a taste of the subject) do so with a
wide range of mathematical preparedness. A short course ‘Maths for science’
has been written as to increase the mathematical confidence of those who feel
they need it before taking the level 2 physics course or other Open University
science courses. The resource provided by the Open University for PPLATO will be
an electronic version of the main course book of ‘Maths for science’.
