University of New England - Logo

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 20,000 online students, UNE is the expert in online education.

Description

Mathematical models appear throughout the natural and social sciences. For example, growth of both cell populations and money can be modelled using exponential functions. In this subject, students will learn how to develop, understand and apply mathematical models, and see how the universality of mathematics connects seemingly disparate fields. Emphasis is placed on developing good mathematical intuition as well as technical problem-solving, allowing students to immediately apply the knowledge learned in this subject or continue on to the calculus-based mathematics subjects. This subject follows the Introduction to Quantitative Skills subject or NSW HSC Mathematics or equivalent.

Topics covered include functions and graphing review; exponential, logarithmic, and inverse functions and equations; trigonometric functions and equations (a unit circle approach); solving systems of linear equations using matrices; and sequences and series: solving first-order recurrence relations, arithmetic progressions, geometric progressions.

Assessments

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.
