Even if you're not majoring in Maths, there are units you can study if your course requires a high level of calculus.
Pre-Calculus Mathematics Enabling Course (MEC)
This course is only available to Mature-age Access Program students.
This course consists of one unit of mathematics, MATH0060 Pre-Calculus Mathematics, which is intended to introduce students to pre-calculus concepts and techniques.
The first half of MATH0060 will be identical to MATH1050 Calculus C so all relevant information (such as time-tabling) will carry across. The second half will be a tutorial-based program consolidating material covered during the first half.
If you require further details regarding MATH0060 Pre-Calculus Mathematics, please contact lecturer Ms Wally Andrioni, (+61 8) 6488 3359.
Syllabus of MATH0060 Pre-Calculus Mathematics
- The Real Numbers
- Polynomials
- Factoring
- Rational Expressions
- Exponents and Radicals
- First-Degree Equations
- Quadratic Equations
- Graphs
- Equations of Lines
- Functions
- Graphs of Functions
- Applications of Linear Functions
- Quadratic Functions
- Applications of Quadratic Functions
- Polynomial Functions
- Rational Functions
- Exponential Functions
- Applications of Exponential Functions
- Logarithmic Functions
- Logarithmic and Exponential Equations
Calculus A (MATH1030)
MATH1030 Calculus A is taken by domestic engineering students in the Engineering Enabling Course (00060).
It may be taken by other students as part of their course, for example, Bachelor of Science students, or through UWA Access, for students who require a high level of calculus, but have not passed TEE Calculus.
The pre-requisite is a pass in TEE Applicable Mathematics or at least 70 in MATH1050 Calculus C.
- It is an intensive unit that runs for 4 weeks, usually commencing late January
This unit demands substantial contributions of time and effort from students. It requires almost full-time attendance during the day, with assigned homework and frequent tests. This means that it cannot realistically be done by students who have part-time jobs that make demands on their time.
The content of the unit will be approximately the material which is in the TEE Calculus syllabus plus some parts of the Year 11 Geometry and Trigonometry syllabus.
If you require further details regarding MATH1030 Calculus A, please telephone lecturer Ms Wally Andrioni, (+61 8) 6488 3359.
