This unit covers a range of foundation topics in calculus and linear algebra as needed for science, engineering and other disciplines. The calculus topics include: functions, limits, continuity, logarithm and exponential functions, mean value theorem, differentiation, maxima and minima, curve sketching, L'Hôpital's rule, and integration.
The linear algebra topics include: solving system of linear equations, matrices, determinants, vectors, and complex numbers. Students will have opportunities to apply these concepts to solving problems related to a variety of engineering, science and other relevant contexts. Students will also make use of the MATLAB software to perform mathematical calculations.
