MATH1013 — Mathematics and Applications 1

code: MATH1013
name: Mathematics and Applications 1
unit value: 6
description: This course covers single-variable calculus and introductory linear algebra. The emphasis will be on understanding the material so that it both can be applied across a range of fields including the physical and biological sciences, engineering and information technologies, economics and commerce, and can also serve as a base for future mathematics courses. Many applications and connections with other fields will be discussed although not developed in detail. The material will not be developed in a rigorous theorem-proof style.

course learning outcomes:
  1. Explain the fundamental concepts of calculus and linear algebra and their role in modern mathematics and applied contexts. These concepts include the solution of linear systems, matrix algebra, linear transformations and determinants in Linear Algebra; and limits, continuity, differentiation, local and absolute extrema, Riemann integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus in Calculus.
  2. Demonstrate accurate and efficient use of calculus and linear algebra techniques as they relate to the concepts listed above.
  3. Demonstrate capacity for mathematical reasoning through explaining concepts from calculus and linear algebra.
  4. Apply problem-solving using calculus and linear algebra techniques applied to diverse situations in physics, engineering and other mathematical contexts.
assessment:
