This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit is intended for those students who have previously studied mathematics to a minimum level of MAT1108 Foundations of Mathematics (or equivalent - for example, ATAR Mathematics Methods passed at year 11 level). It is also appropriate for those students requiring bridging into MAT1236 Calculus 1, or for students from non-mathematics disciplines wishing to enhance their mathematics skills. It is also the recommended entry point for students who have not performed strongly in ATAR Mathematics Methods (or equivalent) and who therefore require further consolidation and extension. The unit covers mathematical modelling using functions and graphs, and also concepts, techniques and applications of differential and integral calculus and analytic geometry. The applications of differentiation include the solution of optimisation problems. For integration the applications to area and volume are considered. The section on analytic geometry focuses on the properties of vectors in 2 and 3-dimensional space and the solution of linear systems of equations.
Students must pass 1 unit from MAT1108
Unit was previously coded MAT1136, UPU0111
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lecture and workshops.
