Description There are five main sections: Algebra (vectors, complex numbers, matrices as transformations, solving equations using matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors); Analysis (Sequences, series, functions, curve sketching, introduction to fourier series, introduction to numerical analysis); Calculus (differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, taylor series, numerical root finding, introduction to partial differentiation); Differential Equations (concepts, separation of variables, linear first and second-order equations, systems, numerical solutions); and Probability (basic concepts, events, random variables, empirical discrete and continuous distributions).
Aims The principal aim of this faculty-wide unit is to bring students entering the Faculty of Engineering up to a common standard in mathematics. The unit contains the well recognised elements of classical engineering mathematics which universally underpin the formation of the professional engineer.
Lectures.
There are also additional but optional walk-in support classes (3 hours per week) in which postgraduate students offer ad-hoc support to students on an individual basis
1.5-hour Midsessional Exam: 20% (Learning Outcomes 1-3, 5) 3-hour Summer Exam: 80% (Learning Outcomes 1-5)
