Introductory Calculus with Applications

Calculus concerns the rate of change of a function with respect to its variable, which is geometrically represented by the slope of a curvilinear trajectory. All of science and engineering, including economics and finance, use calculus as a main tool. Understanding the technical aspects of today&#39;s information technology is not possible without calculus, and calculus has and will continue to have a crucial role in the development of the technologies of the future.The main devices in calculus are limits of real functions and their properties. The use of limits enables us to understand change simply and precisely. This is how areas of irregular shapes can be computed exactly, and how physical processes involving change can be fully understood.UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to up-skill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree. This is a course from UniSA Online’s Associate Degree in Engineering. When studying this course as a &quot;single subject&quot;, prior knowledge from MATH 1076 or equivalent will support your success.Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device.Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.

Combine algebra, geometry, and limits to solve maths problems dealing with changes and rates of change. By studying calculus, you’ll unlock powerful tools for use in physics, engineering, and economics. Covers differential and integral calculus.

Advanced calculus techniques are an essential tool for scientists modelling complex systems, from electromagnetic oscillations to the spread of infectious diseases. Integrating with other offerings in calculus and linear algebra this subject not only provides you with methods applied across the natural and social sciences but also with a theoretical foundation allowing you to pursue further study in mathematics. You will explore topics with broad applications, including linear mappings (determinant and eigenvectors), further techniques of integration and improper integrals, infinite series and Taylor series, parametric equations and implicit equations, and basic differential equations.

In an increasingly data-driven world, the importance of quantitative skills has never been greater. This subject is ideal if you do not have a strong mathematical background or you would like a refresher in foundational topics. Developing your mathematical understanding of core quantitative skills and the importance of mathematics to science, this subject will empower you to confidently apply basic mathematics as a scientist, and ensures you have the knowledge needed for beginner-level university maths. Building on topics from NSW’s HSC General Mathematics (or equivalent), we start with a solid foundation in algebraic concepts and functions before moving on to more advanced subject. You will learn to graph functions and solve a range of equations (e.g. linear, quadratic, polynomial and rational, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic), and find and apply inverse functions. Other topics include working with fractions and percentages, and rules for indices/powers.

Learn the basics of maths in relation to science – or refresh your knowledge – allowing you to become confident in a scientific environment. Cover algebraic concepts, fractions, linear functions, graphs, power and root functions and more.

This subject is designed to provide an introduction to the area of linear algebra. The subject introduces vectors and vector spaces covering addition of vectors, scalar multiplication and the geometric meaning of vectors. The theory of matrices is also developed and includes matrix addition and multiplication, inverse matrices, determinants and the use of Gaussian elimination to solve systems of equations. Matrix theory is also applied to the study of linear transformations.
