Calculus and Linear Algebra 1

About this subject

• What you'll learn

  Upon completion of this subject, students will be able to:

  1. apply the concept of limit to a range of infinite sequences, and relate this to the concept of continuity in the context of specific functions;
  2. relate the concept of derivative to variable rates of change in natural processes, identify and apply appropriate techniques of differentiation to a range of functions, locate and classify maxima and minima of functions, and apply all of these to one-variable problems of optimisation;
  3. relate the concept of definite integral to area, volume and the general accumulation of a quantity prescribed initially in terms of density, compute integrals of functions via elementary anti-differentiation and elementary changes of variable; and
  4. solve systems of linear equations, and classify the solution sets as being either uniquely determined, underdetermined, or overdetermined.

Study load

0.125 EFTSL

This is in the range of 10 to 12 hours of study each week.

Equivalent full time study load (EFTSL) is one way to calculate your study load. One (1.0) EFTSL is equivalent to a full-time study load for one year.
