# OU Math Courses
## Intro
Researching what kind of difference between few undergraduate programmes is available at OU (OpenUniversity).
Compare how they are different and similar. In future to compare them with other universities. Also to make decision choice on
with one to choose based on most topics interested in or not known.
Q31 - BSc (Honours) Mathematics
Q36 - BSc (Honours) Mathematics and Statistics
R38 - BSc (Honours) Data Science
Q15 - BSc (Honours) Economics and Mathematical Sciences
## Stages
This is list of modules that is possible to choose on each of the stage. Each stage represents year in brick uni.
As all stages could be taken as any speed as possible.

### DD126 Economics in context
http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/qualifications/details/dd126?orig=q15
#### Block 1
This provides a detailed historical analysis of how the UK economy, and its interactions with other economies, has changed since the 1700s. You'll look at some of the reasons why the Industrial Revolution occurred in the UK at that time. It also explores the themes of the module: change, agents and success, navigating through events in economic history, and in economics as a discipline.
#### Block 2
In this block you'll explore the market and the role of markets in societies. The view of economics that looks at economic agents and their motives in isolation is the foundation to thinking about markets as the interactions between these agents, and their measures of success; and also how markets operate within economies that have organised themselves, and their main economic activities, in particular ways. You'll look at the competitive model of the market and as economists often analyse formal models using diagrams a key skill in the economist s toolkit extensive use of demand and supply diagrams is made to explain how the model works.
#### Block 3
This third block looks at economies in a more holistic way, critically reflecting on the best way of organising economic activities, and striking a balance between market activity and government intervention. The key areas that are explored are employment, industry and trade. You'll return to discussions of economics across time and place to explore the experiences and evolution of markets under different types of economic systems. This block will also give you the chance to measure and explain success through the use and collection of data sources, which is another important skill in the economist s toolkit.
