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. Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.

Foundations of Human Biology 2

This course aims to give you a fundamental understanding of the relationship between chemistry and material properties and processing. You’ll also develop problem-solving and technical writing skills.Materials are important aspects of any engineering design. When designing or improving a product, one of the first things to consider is the material itself. The main aim of Materials Engineering is to make new materials and improve existing ones.Materials engineering includes the application of knowledge from applied physics, chemistry, and chemical, mechanical, and civil engineering. The knowledge of materials engineering is applicable in a wide range of emerging fields including additive manufacturing, nanotechnology, biomedical materials, electronic materials, recycling and energy generation, the development of lightweight metal alloys, and in traditional industries such as metallurgy and mining. These industries always look for engineers with exposure to a range of materials and materials engineering concepts – from materials processing (including metals and minerals) through various manufacturing, biomedical and processing industries.UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill 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. Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.
