General Information

Overview

The unit covers topics in linear algebra, vectors and complex numbers. You will study matrices and operations, systems of linear equations, and different techniques to solve linear systems. You will also study vectors and operations in the 2D plane and 3D space, and applications in scientific analysis and modelling. Complex numbers and applications will be investigated in this unit too. A focus of this unit is to link linear algebra, vectors and complex numbers to contexts in science and engineering subjects in schools.

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).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.
