Course Description
This course will cover a broad range of relevant themes and historiographical debates associated with the economic and social history of capitalist development in industrializing countries, and aims to engage students with critical concepts relating to the study of economic history and social history. At the end of this course you should be able to demonstrate an awareness of the ways in which historians have examined and understood the economic and social history of Britain over the period 1700 to 1913; articulate key themes related to the emergence of capitalist institutions in modern Britain and Europe; confront how ideas of social justice and inequality shaped past societies; and to confidently analyze the relationship between people and institutions in their social and economic contexts.

Course Description
This course introduces continuum mechanics in general and theoretical fluid mechanics in particular. Fluid mechanics predicts the properties (pressure, density, velocity etc.) of liquids and gases under external forces. Examples of studied liquids include water, blood, and air. Of the many diverse fields where an understanding of the motion of fluids is important, one can mention oceanography and meteorology (in particular the dynamics of ocean circulation and weather forecasting), biological fluid dynamics (for example, blood flows through arteries), and aerodynamics.

Course Description
This course teaches students key ideas in the field of public policy and give them an authentic experience of researching a public policy problem. The core of the course is learning the latest theories of public policymaking and governing. This covers debates about the nature and scope of public policy problems, theories of the policy process, symbolic meaning and narratives in policy, theories of policy change, and the political power of government, business and non-government activists in policymaking. The research aspect of the course involves analyzing a contemporary public policy problem, from its causes and effects through to possible solutions.

Course Description
The unit provides a basic introduction to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and classical mechanics. The ODE content is the first half of the course, which will discuss both methods and theory associated with general first and second order ODEs. A brief introduction to the concepts of scaling, non-dimensionalization and regular perturbation methods will be given. In the second half of the course, the main classical-mechanics problems that motivated the development of calculus will be introduced. Basic definitions/derivations of mechanical quantities will be provided with no prior experience required/expected. Newton's laws will be discussed and used to solve simple mechanics problems involving the motion of a single particle. Some discussion of orbital mechanics and frames of reference will be given. The first half of the course is devoted to an introduction to the study of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In the second half of the course the application of differential equations is illustrated by an introduction to classical mechanics.
