This first mathematics course for students enrolled in the Tertiary Foundation Certificate programme aims to promote an understanding of number skills, including an introduction to algebra. Students will learn how to use simple technology and develop their problem solving abilities. This second mathematics course for students enrolled in the Tertiary Foundation Certificate programme aims to use the skills learnt in MATHS 91F to develop an understanding of functions in their tabular, algebraic and graphical representations. This course prepares students for either MATHS 101 or 102. This Extension Mathematics course for students enrolled in the Tertiary Foundation Certificate Programme aims to promote an understanding of numerical and algebraic skills at a deeper level than MATHS 91F. Students will learn how to use simple technology and develop their problem solving abilities. This second Extension Mathematics course for students enrolled in the Tertiary Foundation Certificate Programme aims to use the skills learnt in MATHS 93F to develop an understanding of functions, including differential functions, in their tabular, algebraic and graphical representations. This course prepares students for either MATHS 101 or 102. Students will encounter the role mathematics plays in understanding and guiding human activity. The teaching is thematic and students experience how fundamental mathematical ideas occur in modelling diverse features of our society such as the environment (eg, air pollution) and medicine (eg, burns, drug dosages). This introduction to calculus focuses on the development of mathematical skills and concepts leading up to calculus, through active participation in problems using functions to model real life contexts. Prepares students for further study, for instance, MATHS 108, 150. A general entry to mathematics for commerce and the social sciences, following Year 13 mathematics. Selected topics in algebra and calculus and their applications including: sets, real numbers, integers; linear functions, linear equations and matrices; functions, equations and inequalities; limits and continuity; differential calculus of one and two variables; integral calculus of one variable. These are studied in general settings using applications from science, commerce and information systems. The gateway to further mathematics courses for students intending to major in mathematics, statistics, physics, economics, finance or mathematical biology. An introduction to the use of careful mathematical language and reasoning applied to univariate optimisation, matrix methods for linear equations, integration techniques and the solution of differential equations, and builds a strong foundation for further mathematical study. Recommended preparation for MATHS 250. A version of MATHS 150 for high achieving Year 13 students. In this introduction to mathematical modelling and scientific computing, students will learn how to formulate mathematical models and how to solve them using numerical and other methods. A core course for students who wish to advance in Applied Mathematics. Mathematics contains many powerful and beautiful ideas that have shaped the way we understand our world. This course explores some of the grand successes of mathematical thinking. No formal mathematics background is required, just curiosity about topics such as infinity, paradoxes, cryptography, knots and fractals. This is a mainly practical course in which selected students learn tutoring skills that are put to use in MATHS 102 tutorials. In a small interactive class, students learn to mark, to question strategically and to facilitate learning. The theory and issues of mathematics education as a research field are also introduced.

An introduction to the use of careful mathematical language and reasoning applied to univariate optimisation, matrix methods for linear equations, integration techniques and the solution of differential equations, and builds a strong foundation for further mathematical study. Recommended preparation for MATHS 250. A version of MATHS 150 for high achieving Year 13 students. In this introduction to mathematical modelling and scientific computing, students will learn how to formulate mathematical models and how to solve them using numerical and other methods. A core course for students who wish to advance in Applied Mathematics. Mathematics contains many powerful and beautiful ideas that have shaped the way we understand our world. This course explores some of the grand successes of mathematical thinking. No formal mathematics background is required, just curiosity about topics such as infinity, paradoxes, cryptography, knots and fractals. This is a mainly practical course in which selected students learn tutoring skills that are put to use in MATHS 102 tutorials. In a small interactive class, students learn to mark, to question strategically and to facilitate learning. The theory and issues of mathematics education as a research field are also introduced. This sequel to MATHS 108 features applications from the theory of multi-variable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations to real-life problems in statistics, economics, finance, computer science, and operations research. Matlab is used to develop analytical and numerical methods of solving problems. This preparation for advanced courses in mathematics is intended for all students who plan to progress further in mathematics. Covers topics from multivariable calculus and linear algebra that have many applications in science, engineering and commerce, including vector spaces, eigenvalues, power series, least squares and improper integrals. The emphasis is on both the results and the ideas underpinning these. The standard sequel to MATHS 250. It covers topics in linear algebra and multi-variable calculus including linear transformations, quadratic forms, double and triple integrals and constrained optimisation. It is a preparation for a large number of Stage III courses in mathematics and statistics, and for many advanced courses in physics and other applied sciences.
