Description
This module prepares the student for progression onto the degree level 7 mathematics. It reintroduces the ideas of differentiation from the basics up to partial differentiation and integration from the basics up to integration by parts. It also covers formula manipulation, the factor theorem, partial fractions and complex numbers. The course is designed so that real life situations are used to demonstrate where the techniques are used.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Be able to manipulate mathematical equations
2.
Be able to graph linear, quadratic, exponential, log and trig functions
3.
Use the factor theorem and remainder theorem
4.
Find partial fractions
5.
Differentiate using the chain rule, product rule and quotient rule, find the maxima and minima of functions
6.
perform parametric, implicit differentiation and partial differentiation
7.
