Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
The following module (or equivalent) should be preferably completed prior to this module:
• VBH 624 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1
Course Description
The purpose of this module is to provide participants with the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to further extend the concepts learned in Advanced Mathematics 1 to include the topics of Integral Calculus, Complex Numbers, Differential Equations, Statistics and Linear Algebra. The subject aims to show the relevance of mathematics to engineering and applied science. This module, in conjunction with Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1, also facilitates articulation to Degree courses in all streams of Engineering and forms a basis for more specialist branches of mathematics.
