Unit Outcomes: | Students will receive a thorough revision of Algebra and Trigonometry, will be given a broader knowledge of Functions, will develop a basic understanding of Matrices and will be provided with the necessary background knowledge of Differential Calculus sothat they, after satisfactory completion of this unit, can pursue the unit Mathematics 022. Together with the Mathematics 022 unit, students will have obtained a good coverage of some Calculus concepts to be used in further studies. |
