Subject details

What you'll learn

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

  1. demonstrate a broad theoretical and technical knowledge of vector functions and curves in space, including the concepts of length and curvature;
  2. demonstrate a broad theoretical and technical knowledge of differentiation of multivariable functions, including the inverse mapping theorem and multivariable Taylor formula;
  3. demonstrate a broad theoretical and technical knowledge of multivariable integration and the ability to compute surface and volume integrals; and
  4. demonstrate a broad theoretical and technical knowledge of the integral theorems and demonstrate the ability to apply this knowledge to fluid dynamics.
Topics covered
    • Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects Learning Management System site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.
Entry requirements

You must either have successfully completed the following subject(s) before starting this subject, or currently be enrolled in the following subject(s) in a prior study period; or enrol in the following subject(s) to study prior to this subject:

UNE-MTHS120-Calculus and Linear Algebra 1 and UNE-MTHS130-Calculus and Linear Algebra 2 ;

Please note that your enrolment in this subject is conditional on successful completion of these prerequisite subject(s). If you study the prerequisite subject(s) in the study period immediately prior to studying this subject, your result for the prerequisite subject(s) will not be finalised prior to the close of enrolment. In this situation, should you not complete your prerequisite subject(s) successfully you should not continue with your enrolment in this subject. If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite subject(s) and believe you may not complete these all successfully, it is your responsibility to reschedule your study of this subject to give you time to re-attempt the prerequisite subject(s)
