MAT1502 Engineering Mathematics 2 (FOSCI)

Semester 2 (ONC)Toowoomba (EXT)Toowoomba

Units 1.0 (Mathematics) Band 6

Synopsis

It is assumed that students entering this course already have well-established algebra, function, graphing and trigonometry competencies, and have already developed introductory level skills in matrices, vectors and calculus. This course advances conceptual and technical competencies in these fields by investigating limits, continuity, inverse functions, compositions, rational functions and implicit functions. Differentiation and integration are advanced and used in engineering applications and problem-solving. Vector algebra is extended and applied to the description of lines and planes in space. Matrix algebra is extended to determinants, and used for modelling and to solve systems of linear equations in a range of settings. Euler notation is used to represent complex numbers and functions.
