National Competency Codes and Titles

National Element Code & Title:

EAX110B Use calculus

Elements:

1. Differentiate algebraic, exponential and natural logarithmic functions and use the results to solve problems 2. Interpret the concept of a derivative graphically and as a rate of change, and solve applied problems 3. Simple differential equations are solved by determining the antiderivatives of algebraic, exponential and natural logarithmic functions 4. Analytical and applied problems are solved by evaluating definite integrals and interpreting their meaning 5. Applied problems are solved using derivatives and anti-derivatives of trigonometric functions

Learning Outcomes

• Develop analytical and logical thinking skills
• Apply mathematical principles and skills in relation to:
- derivatives and anti-derivatives,
- solution of differential equations
- rate of change,
- definite integrals
• Perform calculations to industry standard

Overview of Assessment

Assessment are conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set out in the National Training Package. Students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together knowledge and skills.  To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed under the Assessment Task Section.
