Mathematics 1

This module covers the fundamentals of Numeracy, Algebra, Trigonometry, Vectors, Complex Numbers, Differentiation and Statistics and a range of their applications in engineering contexts.

1. Simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions and evaluate and transpose formulae.

2. Solve a range of equations and word problems.

3. Draw graphs of standard functions and interpret graphs.

4. Calculate trigonometric ratios, solve triangles and analyse sine and cosine waveforms.

5. Perform calculations involving complex numbers in Cartesian and polar form.

6. Perform basic phasor calculations.

7. Differentiate single variable functions using the Sum/Difference, Product, Quotient and Chain Rules and apply differentiation to the solution of engineering problems.

8. Organise and display data in an appropriate manner and summarise important characteristics of a data set.
