Modelling

What is Mathematical Modelling

Definitions

Some key definitions you need to know before we begin the course

Vectors and Scalars

Understand the difference between vectors and scalar quantities

Velocity and Speed

Understanding displacement-time and velocity-time graphs as well as the formula for speed and velocity

Acceleration

The formula for acceleration and a few examples

SUVAT Equations

Heer we derive all the SUVAT equations and then summarise the formulae you need to memorise

Motion under Gravity

How to use SUVAT equations for problems involving gravity
