[edit] Background Knowledge Needed

• None (except general knowledge and a wish to know more)

NB This is meant for people without a background in Science and could therefore said to be a "foundation" level course or at a pre-university level. It would also be useful at level 1.

[edit] Mathematical Knowledge Needed

• Aimed at people with no background in mathematics - simply knowledge of arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Anything else will be provided within the course.
