618-141 Intermediate Mathematics A

Note: Students may not gain credit for both Mathematics 618-141 and any of 618-100 (1995 Handbook), 618-151 or 618-162. Furthermore, credit cannot be obtained for 618-141 if any of 618-101 (1995 Handbook), 618-111 or 618-121 has already been passed.

Credit points: 12.5

Coordinator: Dr I R Aitchison

Contact: 39 lectures (three a week), 13 x 1-hour tutorials and 39 hours problem solving

Timetable: Semester 1

Objectives:

On completion of this subject, students should:

Comprehend:

• the manipulation of vectors, matrices, and systems of linear equations;
• the concepts of solid geometry;
• the properties of basic functions of calculus.

Have developed:

• the skills required to solve systems of linear equations;
• the skills required to differentiate and integrate the basic functions of calculus;
• the skills to work with functions of two variables;
• the skills to solve simple first order differential equations;

Appreciate:

• the fundamental concepts in linear algebra and calculus necessary for further serious studies in mathematics.

Content:

Vectors and matrices: vectors in three-dimensional space, dot and cross products, triple products, determinants; equations of lines and planes, geometrical applications; matrices, row operations, inverses; solution of linear equations, row-reduction, rank. Calculus: functions of one real variable, differentiation and integration, maxima and minima; approximate integration; functions of several variables, contours, partial differentiation. Differential equations: gradient fields, simple first order; applications; numerical solutions.

Assessment:

Up to 26 pages of written assignments, up to three hours of end-of-semester written examination and class tests totalling not more than 1.5 hours.
