Learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

  • Identify and apply standard approaches to solve mathematical systems and models
  • Recognise and compose algebraic and geometric forms of functions, and convert between these forms
  • Model the relationship between real life phenomena and functions that model it, the appropriateness of these models, and associated errors
  • Follow the principles of unbiased sampling, represent data using descriptive statistics and graphical approaches, using the normal distribution to produce interval estimates of parameters
  • Interpret relationships between variables using correlation, regression and techniques of statistical inference, using key terms appropriately
  • Use tables of derivatives and integrals for simple functions and identify and use appropriate techniques to differentiate and integrate more complicated functions, and solve simple ordinary differential equations
  • Apply the rules of differentiation and integration to calculate linear approximations of functions, classify stationary points, and compute areas
