About this Unit

This unit builds on students' knowledge of functions and calculus, further extending to a range of techniques used in solving problems arising in engineering and related fields. Students will extend their differentiation skills to implicit and logarithmic differentiation, and will apply differentiation techniques to optimisation problems and the approximation of functions. This unit will cover a range of integration techniques, and students will apply these to find volume, length and surface area. Students will also be introduced to the concept of complex numbers, together with their applications and use in solutions to polynomial equations. This unit will also introduce students to first and second order differential equations. This unit is designed for those students who have passed WACE Mathematics Methods or equivalent.
