Introduction

This course aims to provide a mathematical foundation for learners, covering key concepts such as vectors, limits, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, sequences, and series. These topics are fundamental in calculus and analysis, equipping learners with essential skills to enhance their problem-solving and analytical capabilities.
Learners will develop proficiency in solving geometrical problems using vectors, as well as in differentiating and integrating functions to tackle real-world challenges related to rates of change, optimization, and calculating areas and volumes. These mathematical skills are highly relevant across engineering and data analytics disciplines, and the course equips learners with versatile tools that lay the groundwork for their academic and professional advancement.

This course is part of:
- Specialist Certificate in Foundations of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE)
- Part-time Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
