This course teaches simple reasoning techniques for complex phenomena divide and conquer, dimensional analysis, extreme cases. In addition to that, continuity, scaling, successive approximation, cheap calculus, and symmetry. Examples include bird and machine flight, neuron biophysics, weather, prime numbers, and animal locomotion. It also emphasis on low-cost experiments to test ideas and on fostering curiosity about phenomena in the world.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
