ACM10080 Introduction to Applied and Computational Mathematics
This module introduces students to the basic principles of Newtonian Mechanics. The module starts with a description of motion (kinematics) including notions of displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The module then moves on to an understanding of the causes of motion and changes in motion (dynamics) via an elementary introduction to Newton's laws. Key topics here include force and momentum. Concurrently with this discussion, there will be an introduction to elementary mathematical methods that can be used to frame all of the above in mathematical language, including the mathematical treatment of kinematics and dynamics via Calculus and vector algebra.

imo don't take it unless you need to, as it is quite difficult if you haven't done applied maths for LC (which is whom this module is designed for..). however, the exam is based on before-seen exercises in class so an A+ is definitely possible
if you haven’t done applied maths / physics for leaving cert it’s a lot of work
I would recommend, basically LC physics, it doesn't get terribly tough.
Excellent module for learning the fundamentals of Applied Maths, if you did not take it for the leaving
Anyone that has done applied maths before should breeze through this module, the average midterm score was around 90%.
quite challenging unless someone has done Applied Maths in the Leaving Cert.
