Description including Unit Aims

	 This unit builds on computational physics from levels C and I. Here existing skills are developed, concentrating specifically on manipulating and presenting scientific data, and programming in Visual Basic, particularly to manipulate data and also simulate experimental data. The unit is self-paced against a worksheet of problems, with hands-on guidance from demonstrators.
