Synopsis
This unit deals with 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. The
properties of these functions, 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.
