Mathematics 1A - WMAT135
This unit is essential for students in science and technology. Part of the unit includes a brief discussion on complex numbers and congruences, with the main topic being linearity and the interplay between algebra and geometry. Plane geometry is used to motivate the study of systems of linear equations. Algebraic techniques involving matrices and determinants are then developed to study these problems further. Students then go on to study geometrical problems in 3-dimensional space. The notion of a limit is developed to a more detailed level than in secondary school mathematics, and this is used to study the differential and integral calculus involving functions of one real variable to a far greater depth.
