Teaching/Learning Approach Lectures focus on the introduction and explanation of fundamental mathematical concepts in algebra and calculus, and demonstrate how they can be applied to solve scientific and engineering problems. Tutorials provide students with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the concepts taught in lectures and to apply appropriate mathematical techniques to solve problems in science and engineering. Assessment Approach A variety of assessment tools may be used, including assignments, tests and an examination designed to develop and assess students achievement of the subject expected learning outcomes.

Aims This subject introduces students to the fundamentals of algebra and calculus. It provides students with practices in applying mathematical concepts to solve scientific and engineering problems. Studying the subject will also help students to develop their analytical and logical thinking for their further study in other engineering subjects. Learning Outcomes On successfully completing this subject, students will be able to: understand fundamental mathematical concepts in algebra and calculus extend their knowledge of mathematical techniques and adapt known solutions to different situations apply the appropriate mathematical techniques to solve problems in science and engineering think analytically and logically
