This catalogue contains information on free-standing modules. This catalogue has been made available only on the web. As a full-time student at Cardiff you will normally take modules to the value of 120 credits in each year of your chosen programme. Within these 120 credits, your programme may provide you with the opportunity to take free-standing modules . A list of the programmes which offer this choice is given in Appendix 1.
br> br> br> Modules
Modules are courses of study which are offered on a free-standing basis in one of the following ways:
A single module
A module worth ten credits normally taught within a single semester, representing one sixth of the semester's workload.
A double module (Autumn & Spring Semester)
A module worth twenty credits taught over both the Autumn and Spring semesters, representing a sixth of the workload for the whole academic year.
A double module: either Autumn Semester or Spring Semester
A module worth twenty credits taught within a single semester, representing a third of the semester's workload.
Free-standing Modules
One of the major benefits to students who are pursuing a modular programme of study is the added opportunity to choose modules from outside their own degree programmes. Free-standing modules allow this to happen and you may wish to opt for them for a variety of reasons:
All the modules listed in this catalogue are free-standing. You should note, however, that entry onto some free-standing modules is subject to certain conditions.
The final step in the process is officially signing up for the module of your choice. You will be advised of the procedure for signing up for your free-standing modules by your home school at enrolment.
All students are notified that the modules advertised or referred to in this catalogue are liable to be changed or withdrawn, both before and after selection, for any reason including those set out below. Cardiff University accepts no responsibility for any such change or withdrawals of modules and students select modules at their own risk.
Reasons which may cause the change or withdrawal of modules include the loss of any key member of staff or insufficient take-up of modules by students; this list is not exhaustive.
As you read through the catalogue, you may come across a number of terms which are new to you. The following definitions may help you.

This course looks at the art of the French Impressionist painters, and how it documents patterns of urban change in the mid-nineteenth century. It will explore the changes occurring in Parisian life, “the birthplace of those habits of commerce and leisure that constitute modern life," as represented in the work of painters such as Manet, Seurat, and Degas, and will seek to create a distinct and readable visual narrative that enhances our understanding of art and society in an age of modernity.
1. To introduce students to key cultural and social aspects of Impressionist art in the nineteenth century.
2. To show that Impressionist art is not simply a series of visual documents detached from everyday life. It is important to realize that paintings are reflectors of culture and, as with any visual image, may provide a credible source of information regarding culture and society. Rather than treat visual representations as merely a complement to an historical narrative, it may be better to treat images as a discrete means of communication and as legitimate, readable texts with their own distinct vocabulary and syntax.
3. To develop students’ abilities to examine and evaluate Impressionist art.
4. To develop students’ understanding of the social and cultural context of the work.

The module will introduce the students to the concepts at the heart of modern mathematics, the derivative and the Riemann integral. These will be looked at from two perspectives: intuitive, geometric, and mathematically rigorous, furnished by the idea of a continuous limit.
On this foundation further calculus tools, indispensable in the study of mathematics, will be explored: the general properties of the derivative and the Riemann integral will be studied in detail, followed by the demonstration of the techniques of integration.
In the course of this the students will be thoroughly exposed to the class of elementary functions, based on the fundamental concept of the exponent. Examples of geometric and mechanical applications of the derivative and the integral will be given, through which the students will be encouraged to develop their ability to translate some simple practical problems to the language of mathematics.
The first part of the module aims to introduce students to first-order differential equations. Calculus techniques will be deployed to find simple solutions of such differential equations. In addition, students will be expected to develop an appreciation of how the solutions can be given a geometric interpretation, even when it is not possible to use calculus techniques to obtain solutions that can be written in a simple form.
The second part of the module is concerned with the solution of second-order differential equations. Manipulative techniques will be used to determine solutions of second-order differential equations for cases where the equation takes a specific and relatively simple form. There will also be some general discussion about the circumstances under which it is possible to know that there is a solution of a differential equation, even if a simple mathematical formula for the solution cannot be obtained.
A mathematical model is simply a set of equations which represent the behaviour of some ‘real-life’ process. By analysing these equations mathematically we can then seek to understand and predict the behaviour of the process. An example of this is Fibonacci's famous (if somewhat crude) model for the growth of a rabbit population. However, many other phenomena can be modelled mathematically, and modern applications cover a wide range of topics from the physical, biological and social sciences.
This module provides an introduction to the modelling process through the study of linear and non-linear dynamical systems in discrete time. This leads on to the study of the chaotic behaviour in dynamical systems and of the ways how deterministic chaos can arise even in simple models. The list of examples of the dynamical systems under study includes linear recurrent equations, rotations of the circle, tent map, Bernoulli shift and the logistic map. The questions like bifurcations diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and invariant measures are discussed in some detail. Fractals and their characterizations through fractal dimensions is another topic of the module.
In addition to providing a foundation for later studies in modelling and applied mathematics, this module is intended to consolidate topics covered in core mathematics modules by using the material in contexts which lend themselves to visualisation.
What is the likelihood of winning a prize in the lottery? What about winning the jackpot? In a multiple choice exam, if you guess all the answers, how many can you expect to get right? These are the types of questions that can be answered using the idea of probability, which is the theory of analysing and making statements concerning the occurrence of uncertain events. The subject has been developed from the study of simple games of chance such as rolling a dice and tossing a coin, and this is the method that will be used in the module to introduce students to the concept of chance.
The module begins with the idea of a probability space, which is how we model the outcome of a random experiment. Various concepts such as statistical independence and conditional probability are discussed. Probability is then introduced in terms of discrete and continuous random variables where various properties are examined. Techniques are also developed for evaluating common quantities of interest such as, expectation and variance.
This is a lecture based module and will be accessible to those who have knowledge of A-level Pure Mathematics. Students will regularly be required to demonstrate problem-solving skills throughout this module, though no previous knowledge of probability theory is assumed.
The module also prepares students for modules with statistics and probability content in the degree scheme.

Wales has a rich literary tradition, not least in the twentieth century, which despite the decline of the Welsh language during that period, was to prove a high point in the long history of Welsh literature. The same period also saw the emergence of significant Welsh writing in English. This module provides a general overview of the development of Welsh literature in the modern period, concentrating especially on some of the key figures of the twentieth-century Welsh literature. The main focus will be on Welsh-language material in English translation, but there will also be some discussion of Welsh writing generated in English.
