Study of Introductory Topics in Mathematics or equivalent.

Access to a calculator and apppropriate mathematics software is necessary.

The learning strategies will require students to commit 150 learning hours, of which 48 hours will consist of contact time. A combination of lecture and tutorial/workshops (1:n)4 will provide students with the opportunity to develop a range of mathematics skills. A further 102 hours of independant study will require students to further develop and practise these skills using prepared formative exercises.

THIS MODULE WILL NORMALLY RUN IN SEMESTER 2

Binomial Theorem.
Manipulation of matrices and their use in solving simultaneous equations.

Introduction to concepts of rates of change, limits and differentiation from first principles.
Differentiation techniques including standard results, products, quotients and composites.
Integration, including definite and indefinite integrals and numerical techniques.
Application of calculus to kinematics and simple differential equations in an engineering context.
