4 x 1 hour classes per week, 1 x 1 hour practical per week.
1 x 1 hour scheduled online workshop per week.
Assumed knowledge: VCE Mathematical Methods 3 and 4 or equivalent, or SIT190 Introductory Mathematical Methods.
This unit includes fundamental techniques in differential calculus and integral calculus for the analysis of functions that occur in science and engineering problems. Applications studied include approximations to solutions of equations and integrals and formulation of models to solve science and engineering problems.
