MAS161: Calculus and Matrix Algebra

Calculus and matrix algebra form the basis of the mathematical knowledge required to model physical, environmental, biological and engineering systems and investigate their behaviour. This unit assumes an understanding of the basic topics and develops them further. Vector and matrix operations, determinants, inverses and eigenvalues will be considered along with differentiation, integration, sequences and series, differential equations, introductory multivariable calculus and multiple integration. Applications will be considered, with computer algebra packages used to reduce tedious calculations and present results.
