The University of New England is the only Australian public university to be awarded the maximum 5 stars for Overall Experience by the Good Universities Guide, 13 years in a row. UNE has delivered distance education since 1955—that’s longer than any other Australian university. Perhaps that’s why students continue to rate UNE so highly for student satisfaction and teaching quality. With over 170 degrees offered online, and more than 22,000 students, UNE is an expert in online education.

Mathematical models appear throughout the natural and social sciences. For example, growth of both cell populations and money can be modelled using exponential functions. Introducing you to the universality of mathematics, this subject emphasises your development of good mathematical intuition and technical problem solving. Studying this subject, you will learn how to develop, understand, and apply mathematical models. Topics include a review of functions and graphing, exponential, logarithmic, inverse, and trigonometric functions and equations, solving systems of linear equations using matrices. Intended to build on the NSW HSC Mathematics course (or equivalent) or UNE’s Introduction to Quantitative Skills, the subject provides you with an invaluable foundation for a wide range of science-based courses or for further study of calculus-based mathematics units.
Final Examination: 2 hrs 15 mins duration. The exam will be offered online with supervision via webcam and screen sharing technology. Coordinated by UNE Exams Unit. Relates to Learning Outcomes: 1-6 UNE manages supervised exams associated with your UNE subjects. Prior to census date, UNE releases exam timetables. They’ll email important exam information directly to your UNE email address.
