This module introduces students to mathematical and numerical methods to solve practical problems in acoustics. It provides a self-contained review and derivation of the equations of linear acoustics in the time and frequency domains. Mathematical modelling of sound fields generated by complex source distributions is introduced. This leads to more advanced mathematical methods commonly used in acoustics such as the acoustic Green function and integral solutions of the acoustic wave equation. The numerical methods which are covered in the course are available as commercial software packages but the underpinning theory and analysis is discussed in sufficient technical detail to serve as a starting point for those seeking to apply or extend them to research problems.

Behind every acoustic simulation and every piece of prediction software lies a body of mathematics that describes how sound is generated and propagates. For the engineer who wants not just to use these tools but to understand, trust and extend them, that mathematical foundation is essential. This module develops the theoretical and computational methods used to model sound fields, taking you from the governing equations through to the techniques that underpin modern acoustic analysis.

You will work through a self contained derivation of the equations of linear acoustics in both the time and frequency domains, then learn to model the sound fields produced by complex source distributions. From there you will meet the more advanced mathematical methods central to acoustics, including the acoustic Green function and integral solutions of the wave equation. The numerical methods you study are the same ones available in commercial software packages, but here you will examine the underlying theory and analysis in enough technical detail to understand how they work and where their limits lie.

By the end of the module, you will be able to formulate and solve acoustic problems using both analytical and numerical methods and understand the theory behind the software the field relies on. This gives you a strong platform for research in acoustics and for advanced professional work, equipping you to apply established methods with confidence and to adapt or extend them when new problems demand it.

You will work through a self contained derivation of the equations of linear acoustics in both the time and frequency domains, then learn to model the sound fields produced by complex source distributions. From there you will meet the more advanced mathematical methods central to acoustics, including the acoustic Green function and integral solutions of the wave equation.

This module will provide you with a developed understanding of what is law; how much law can be justified; how law relates to morality and justice, indeed whether there is any morality that is unique to law. The first part of the module will canvass what is unique about legal obligation and law’s claim to authority. In the second part of the module you will look at different theories of justice and the tension they pose between individuality and community. The third part of the module will apply the work from the first two parts towards examining how we might the law be used to promote justice. The theory and practice of law will be examined and reflected upon in a slower and more advanced way than in the LAWS1012 Legal System and Reasoning module taken in Year 1 of the Programme. The module will be taught in holistic way, so that theories of law and theories and justice can be seen in the way they relate and complement one another to reflect both justification and limits for good governance. As a prospective lawyer, it is believed that significantly better and more sophisticated legal analysis and argument can be formed once central legal concepts and principles can be seen in the way they relate to theories of law and justice. As such, this module will deeply inform your doctrinal study of law with the conceptual analysis which underpins law’s search for justice.
