MAT1102 Algebra and Calculus I (FOSCI)

Semester 1 (ONC)Toowoomba (EXT)Toowoomba

Units 1.0 (Mathematics) Band 2

Synopsis

Assuming knowledge and competencies equivalent to Qld Year 11 and 12 school Mathematics with Calculus (Maths B), this course investigates the elementary functions of mathematics: polynomials, logarithms, trigonometric functions, their inverses, arithmetic combinations and compositions of these functions and functions implicitly defined through relationships between them. Properties of these functions and the rules for finding their derivatives and anti-derivatives are developed and used in applications and the solution of problems. Systems of linear algebraic equations are formulated and solved in a variety of settings. Vectors, matrices and complex numbers are used to formulate and solve problems from various fields of application, and to describe the geometry of two and three dimensional space.
