Overview
In this unit, you will apply the essential calculus concepts, processes, and techniques to develop mathematical models for science and engineering problems. You will use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to illustrate the relationship between the derivative and the integral of a function. The theorem will also be applied to problems involving definite integrals. Differential calculus will be used to construct mathematical models that investigate a variety of rate-of-change and optimisation problems. You will learn how to apply the standard rules and techniques of integration. Science and engineering disciplinary problems will be investigated through the use of differential equations. Other important elements of this unit are the communication of results, concepts, and ideas using mathematics as a language. Mathematical software will also be used to visualise, analyse, validate, and solve problems studied in the unit.

Prerequisite: MATH11218 Anti-requisite: MATH12223 or MATH12224
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 3 - 2020
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

1 Written Assessment
This is an individual assignment. Students are reminded that all aspects of work submitted are to be the results of their own personal studies.
Please see the unit Moodle site for the questions in this assignment. Assignment 1 will be available for download under the "Assessment" block on the unit Moodle website, together with complete instructions for online submission of your solutions to the assignment questions.
Marks will be deducted for assignments which are submitted late without prior permission or adequate explanation. Assignments will receive NO marks if submitted after the solutions have been released.
Week 5 Friday (18 Dec 2020) 5:00 pm AEST
Usually within two weeks of the due date; through the unit Moodle site.
The final weighted result is out of 20. Questions are awarded full marks if they are error-free, partial marks if there are some errors, and no marks if not attempted or contain so many errors as to render the attempt to be without value.
To ensure maximum benefit, answers to all questions should be neatly and clearly presented and full working is required to obtain maximum credit for solutions.

3 Take Home Exam
You will be able to access the take home exam paper from the Moodle website for MATH11219, under the Assessment block. To complete this Take Home Exam paper, you will need access to a printer and a scanner.
Completion of this take home exam paper is limited to a duration of 24 hours. This duration will allow you to:
- print the assessment
- develop solutions to the posed questions
- scan the solutions to PDF file
- upload and submit to the Term 2, 2020 MATH11219 Moodle site
The 24 hour duration is a strict deadline. Submission of this take home exam paper will not be accepted once this deadline has passed.
Your submission may be subject to additional verification in the form of an oral defence through interview with the Unit Coordinator (or nominee). Students who are unable to satisfactorily answer questions about their submitted solution(s) will receive no marks for those solution(s).
This is an individual assignment. Students are reminded that all aspects of work submitted are to be the results of their own personal studies.
Further details on the availability and submission of the take home exam paper will be available on MATH11219 Moodle website.
The Take Home Exam will be scheduled during the examination period. The specific date and time to be advised via Moodle.
The results will be made available on Certification of Grades day. Like a regular exam, your marked answer script will not be returned to you, unless you apply to see it as part of the first step of the review of grade process.
This assessment task is open book. You can reference all notes and study materials. Any submission after the deadline will not be accepted. You are required to do your own work, maintaining academic integrity with all honesty. Your submission may be subject to additional verification in the form of an oral defence through interview with the Unit Coordinator (or nominee). Students unable to satisfactorily answer questions about their submitted solution(s) will receive no marks for these solutions(s).
Answered questions are awarded the full marks allocated if they are error-free, partial marks if there are some errors, and no marks if not attempted or contain so many errors as to render the attempt to be without value. To ensure maximum benefit, answers to all questions should be neatly and clearly presented and all appropriate working should be shown.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
