Overview
The unit covers topics in single variable integral calculus and linear algebra. The fundamental theorem of calculus is studied as well as various techniques for evaluating integrals like the substitution rule, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution and various numerical approximations. A number of applications of integral calculus are investigated including finding the area between curves, the volume of solids and cylindrical shells, the length of a curve, the average value of a function, as well as applications in physics and engineering . Modelling real world problems with differential equations is studied along with techniques for solving first order differential equations using direction fields and Euler’s method, or using methods for separable equations. The use of differential equations to formulate exponential and logistic models of various growth and decay processes is also investigated. Matrices are revisited with particular focus on the determinant of a matrix and how it can be used to solve linear systems of equations. Finally infinite sequences and series are studied along with methods of determining if they converge or diverge. The use of power series to integrate and differentiate functions is investigated with particular emphasis on the Taylor and Maclaurin series representation of a function. Mathematical software is also used to analyse and solve most problems studied in the unit. Note: If you have completed unit MATH11164 then you cannot take this unit.

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 2 - 2019
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.

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.

Additional Textbook Information
As MATH12223 is the prerequisite for MATH12224, those students who passed MATH12223 in Term 1 of 2019 can keep using the same textbook for MATH12224 in Term 2 of 2019. An extract of revised chapters related to MATH12224 as a PDF file will be available on Moodle.
For students who passed MATH12223 prior to 2019, they may choose to use this extracted PDF file or purchase a copy of the textbook from the Bookshop: "Essentials and Examples of Applied Mathematics" (1st edn, ISBN 9781488623820) by William Guo, Pearson Australia (2018). Paper copies are available at the CQUni Bookshop here: http://bookshop.cqu.edu.au (search on the Unit code)

1 Written Assessment
This is an individual assignment.
This assignment is to test student's learning outcomes of topics studied in Weeks 1-5. The assignment details are provided on the Moodle website.
Week 6 Wednesday (28 Aug 2019) 11:55 pm AEST
Week 8 Wednesday (11 Sept 2019)
It is envisaged that feedback and solutions will be available in two weeks, or as soon as the process is completed.
The final mark is out of 20. Questions are awarded the full marks allocated if they are error-free, partial marks if there are some problems, 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. Assignments will receive NO marks if submitted after the solutions are released.
- Assess and apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

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?
