1.3 Parallel and perpendicular lines
Attempts to answer problems in areas as diverse as science, technology and economics involve solving simultaneous linear equations. In this unit we look at some of the equations that represent points, lines and planes in mathematics. We explore concepts such as Euclidean space, vectors, dot products and conics.
Using your calculator
This unit explores reasons for studying mathematics, practical applications of mathematical ideas and aims to help you to recognise mathematics when you come across it. It introduces the you to the graphics calculator, and takes you through a series of exercises from the Calculator Book, Tapping into Mathematics With the TI-83 Graphics Calculator. The unit ends by asking you to reflect on the process of studying mathematics. In order to complete this unit you will need to have obtained a Texas I

Computer Science
Students are going to understand the structure of computer we use in our everyday life and study the relation between logic circuit, C Language and software.
Image Processing
The importance of computer-based image processing is growing more and more as digital cameras proliferate and use of the World Wide Web expands. Also, many people use image processing computer software such as Photoshop.
In this course, we will consider basic elements of computer-based image processing and aim to understand their principles. Through understanding the construction of functions implemented in commercial image processing software, we will work to learn practical basic knowledge so
Introduction The aim of Managing Projects through People is to demonstrate the importance of managing people for the success of a project, to identify groups and individuals whose appropriate involvement in a project is important for its success, and to consider ways in which their contribution might be maximised. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Fundamentals of Senior Management (B713) which is no longer taught by The Open University. If you want to study form
Twitter For Educators
Twitter for educators provides good logic on why educators should use Twitter and how it can help them form a community, share resources, and meet people worldwide. This is a great resource to enhance technology instruction in the classroom and is an effective tool for school to home communication. (7:51)

Introduction This unit provides an introduction to the evolution of mammals. We will be considering Darwin's observations on a great many mammals, and how he noticed that species fell into natural groups. We take as an example the evolution of one particularly interesting mammal, the whale, and look at evidence both from fossils and from DNA to see which other mammals are most closely related to whales. We see how the evidence from these two very different sources points to the same relationship and
