ANUC1003 offers Diploma students the same content and learning as MATH1003 in a more highly supported and extended teaching environment. This ensures that students are appropriately prepared for Bachelor level study.
 
This is a course covering the elementary algebraic and calculus methods necessary for mathematical modelling. Emphasis will be placed on developing facility, technique and use in applications. Modelling of processes and phenomena which occur in economics, engineering and the physical, environmental and life sciences will be used as a vehicle throughout. This course also provides a pathway to higher level mathematics courses.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

1. Develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, in the context of algebra and calculus

2. Describe the algebraic and graphical properties of elementary functions (linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and their inverses) and their applications to engineering, economics and sciences.

3. Explain the significance of the derivative and  integration and be able to apply techniques for the derivative and integration to situations in economics, engineering and sciences.

4. Develop an appreciation of matrix models in economics, engineering and the physical, environmental and life sciences.
