Introduction
This first year mathematics unit provides a broad introduction to the fundamental mathematical operations and methods (differentiation, integration and partial differentiation) and mathematical objects (vectors) needed in engineering and science. We initiate themes of mathematical modelling which are most important in connection with practical problems. This unit lays a solid foundation for more advanced mathematics undertaken in semester two and higher years.

Availability
Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
ILO 1 Use function algebra to represent functions as tables, graphs, and mathematical expressions and have developed skills in using functions as models for real-life behaviour.
ILO 2 State the basic properties of geometric vectors including products of up to three vectors, and apply the results to the geometry of curves and the motion of objects.
ILO 3 Calculate derivatives of functions involving polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions and inverses. Use them to solve problems involving rates of change, maximum and minimum and approximation of functions.
ILO 4 Calculate integrals and use integrals in applications such as Simpson’s rule.
ILO 5 Calculate partial derivatives and apply the chain rules.

Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | Newnham Campus: 3 hours Lectures weekly, 1 hour Tutorial weekly Cradle Coast Campus: Lectures will be delivered offline, with weekly on-campus tutorials. Cradle Coast Campus Students: We strongly recommend to all students (in particular Cradle Coast campus students) that to get the best outcome of the unit, you should physically attend the lectures in the Newnham (Launceston) campus. However, all lectures are recorded and will be made available on MyLO (subject to availability). For missed recordings due to external factors beyond the lecturer's control, all reasonable efforts will be made to rectify the situation arising from this. |
