This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit is intended for students who already have a basic level of understanding of differential and integral calculus and its applications. Students will be introduced to more advanced techniques of calculus and its application required for foundational study in engineering and applied science. Although students with ATAR Mathematics Methods will be given the option to enroll directly into MAT1236 Calculus 1 they need to be aware that they will not have all of the assumed knowledge if they have not completed ATAR Mathematics Specialist. To cover this content gap, students will be provided with bridging material on the unit Blackboard site. Students who are not mathematically strong (e.g. who do not have a mark of at least 70% in ATAR Mathematics Methods), or who struggle with the bridging material provided, are encouraged to enroll in MAT1137 Introductory Applied Mathematics before progressing to MAT1236 in a later semester.
Students not enrolled in K94, Y13, Y28, Y44, Y45, Y46, Y47, Y49, Y50, Y51, Y54, Y55, Y60, Y64, Y65, Y66, Y74 and Y75 must have passed MAT1137 or must have achieved a scaled core > 49.99 in MAT3C/3D or MAS3C/3D or equivalent.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures and tutorials.
