Calculus and Matrix Algebra

About this subject

  • At the completion of this subject students will be able to:

    1. be familiar with a number of new ideas and techniques from calculus and linear algebra, and be aware of their application to solve a variety of real world problems
    2. appreciate the role that computers can play in problem solving (including being aware of their weaknesses), and be able to use a package such as MATLAB or Scientific Notebook to carry out routine calculations
    3. present coherent written reports – both on your solutions to routine and practical problems, and when asked, to give an explanation or justification for certain mathematical claims
    4. draw analogies between seemingly different concepts defined in different contexts
    5. cope with a higher level of abstraction so that more complicated applied problems can be solved, and similarities can be drawn between different problems
