Description

This is a foundation-level course designed to increase confidence and ability in mathematical skills, particularly in the areas of elementary algebra, trigonometry, and linear algebra. There is also a focus on formulating problems in mathematical language, and communicating appropriately in mathematics.

This course may be the first experience of serious mathematics. At this level, mathematics often requires persistence and approaching problems from different perspectives. Mathematics problems can sometimes be like puzzles — frustrating, but very satisfying once solved. This course will guide you through every step of the way.

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.

Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device.

This is a course from UniSA Online’s Associate Degree in Engineering.

Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.
