This resource contains six packages of resources relating to the basic core principles of Mathematics and Physics. They include problems and solutions, with the aim of increasing the Welsh terminology in the subjects and raising students' confidence in dealing with the subjects in Welsh. There is a set of examples and theory and practical exercises for each of the six topics covered.

Data Analysis with ‘R’ and 'Python'
The aim of this training is to introduce effective and reproducible data analysis techniques in two open source programming languages, R and Python. This resource is presented by Dr Geraint Palmer who is a Welsh medium lecturer in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His research in the field of Operational Research mainly involved modelling public services as queueing systems analytically and using computer simulation. This work applies topics such as probability, graph theory, data analysis, and software development. Content: A series of 10 videos (5 in R and 5 in Python), on the following topics: Downloading, installing, and starting the software Reading in data and producing summary statistics Plotting Combining and re-shaping data Hypothesis testing An example data set A practical task to coincide with each video On completion trainees should be able to: By working through this video series and the tasks, you will be able to start to analyse data with either R or Python. Specifically, you will know how to read in data to the software, produce summary statistics, plot, combine and reshape data, and carry out hypothesis testing.
Facts and Formulas Pamphlets
This resource contains a series of maths fact and formula sheets, translated from the originals by the Mathcentre.
