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.
