CALCULUS AND DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
MAT1CDE
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students learn and apply mathematical concepts and develop skills that provide a foundation for all studies requiring a knowledge of calculus. Students refine and extend their knowledge of the concepts and techniques of differentiation and integration and move on to the notions of differential equations and modelling the real world. Techniques for solving first order separable and first and second order linear differential equations are covered together with some approximation techniques. An active learning approach is used engaging students in solving mathematical problems and exploring the detail of mathematical concepts so they can be appropriately applied. Students will develop reasoning skills and the ability to clearly present their written arguments. They are strongly encouraged to practice verbal communication of ideas by working in small groups.
