The unit of study aims to provide basic understanding in manipulating and solving various algebraic expressions. Students will sketch various polynomials and other functions. An extension of the number system will be made to include complex numbers: their definition and basic operations using rectangular and polar. An introduction to calculus: using rules for differentiation, and the solution of equations Concepts of integration: the relationship between integration and differentiation, area between curves. Integration methods: integration by substitution, integration by part.
Students are encouraged to work in groups in tutorial classes where they can apply their learning material to the solution of mathematical exercises and basic real-life problems. This subject continues the stream that will allow students to satisfy mathematics teacher registration.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
Learning material will provided by Lecturers and Tutors.
This unit is not compulsory for any specific course. Depending on the course you study, this unit may be taken as an elective.
