    Unit description
    This unit is the first of two units that provide the essential foundation in the concepts and techniques of mathematics that form the basis
    of science, engineering and higher mathematics and statistics. It covers multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations.
    Students who successfully complete this unit should be able to:

    systematically solve systems of linear algebraic equations with up to 5 variables


    identify when a system of linear algebraic equations has 0, 1 or infinitely many solutions.
    determine when a set of vectors is a subspace.
    determine when a set of vectors is linearly independent.
    find a basis for a subspace, including the row space, column space and null space of a matrix, and hence determine its dimension.
    understand the operations of matrix algebra and identify the similarities and differences between matrix algebra and the algebra of
    real numbers.
    determine the inverse of an n x n matrix with n at most 5.
    compute determinants and understand the relationship between determinants, rank and invertibility of matrices.
    recognise linear functions and understand the relationship between linear transformations and matrix multiplication.
    appreciate the rank-nullity theorem in the context of linear transformations.
    demonstrate familiarity with vector functions and functions of several variables including determining level curves.
    calculate limits of functions of one variable using the limit laws and squeeze theorem.
    Page 2

    demonstrate an understanding of the notion of a limit for vector functions and functions of several variables, and determine if such
    limits exist.
    identify if a function is continuous.
    determine partial derivatives of functions of several variables.
    calculate and interpret the derivative of a vector function and a function of several variables.
    demonstrate and apply an understanding of the chain rule for vector functions and functions of several variables.
    find equations of normals and tangents to curves, and planes tangent to surfaces.
    calculate the directional derivative and gradient vector of a function of several variables.
    find Taylor polynomials of functions of one and several variables.
    find and identify extrema of functions of several variables.
    solve simple ordinary differential equations using a variety of standard techniques such as separation of variables, integrating factor,
    by solving the characteristic equation, and method of undetermined coefficients.
    appreciate how differential equations can be used to model physical systems and interpret the solutions in terms of the original
    system.
    determine eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenspaces of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices.
    demonstrate a familiarity with the basic properties of eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenspaces.
    use eigenvalues and eigenvectors to solve systems of two linear differential equations.
    demonstrate an understanding of the concept of change of basis.
    determine change of basis transition matrices (in the 2x2 and 3x3 case).
    demonstrate an understanding of sequences and series, and use associated tests for convergence.

    Learning outcomes
    Students are able to (1) understand the basics of linear algebra, including the concepts of subspace, linear transformation and
    determinant; (2) understand and use the calculus and geometry of functions of more than one variable; (3) understand Taylor series
    and some of their uses; (4) use first and second order differential equations in applications; (5) understand the concepts of eigenvalues
    and eigenvectors, and change of basis; and (6) understand the basic theory of sequences and series.
