Aims and objectives

This unit of study aims to provide students with mathematical knowledge and skills needed to support their concurrent and subsequent engineering and science studies

Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
 
1. Recognise algebraic and graphical forms of standard functions, convert between these forms and calculate their inverses and compositions (K2) 
2. Apply the induction principle and basic inequalities to verify important propositions (K2)
3. Appraise and apply standard approaches for determining the existence of limits of sequences and functions, quantifying these as point values where appropriate (K2)
4. Apply techniques of differential calculus to functions of one variable, interpreting in the context of equations, graphs and real-world applications (K2)
5. Apply techniques of integral calculus to functions of one variable, interpreting in the context of equations, graphs and real world applications (K2, S1)
6. Formulate separable and linear differential equations in abstract and real-world settings, appraising and applying solution schemas in simple, fundamental equations (K2, S1)
7.Determine partial derivatives of functions of more than one variable and use these to identify and classify their stationary points (K2)
