Course Description
This unit covers the competency to differentiate and integrate nth degree polynomials, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions and hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions.
This unit also covers the skills and knowledge required in solving engineering mathematics problems by using differentiation, integration and systems of linear equations in conjunction with the deployment of a suitable software application package. This unit also covers the competencies achieved in first semester Engineering mathematics at university.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
EAX110 – Use calculus
EDX130 – Use mathematics at technician level
EDX140 – Use, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions and matrices

Overview of Assessment
The assessment comprises a combination of Assignments and Tests.
The students are required to complete:
Written Assignment 1 10% of the total marks
Written Test 1 40% of the total marks
Written Assignment 2 10% of the total marks
Written Test 2 40% of the total marks
• Vector and Matrix algebra, determinants, and systems of linear equations are assessed with Assignment 1 and Test 1.
• Differential and Integral calculus (functions of multiple variables, the double integral) and its applications (the rate of change, the density, mass, moment and area using integration) are assessed with Assignment 2 and Test 2.
