10a. Curricular Content in Terms of Topics and a Summary of Content Planned for
each Lecture/Tutorial Session/Seminar etc.
This subject is an introductory first year mathematics course taught by the Faculty of
Engineering Technology. By the time you nish the course you should understand the
concepts and techniques covered by the syllabus and have developed skills in applying
those concepts and techniques to the solution of appropriate problems. The subject is
divided in to two strands, Algebra and Calculus, and aims to
Promote appreciation of mathematics while developing in students enjoyment in
doing mathematical activities
Equip students, both technically and psychologically, to cope with the mathematics
they will meet in the later stages of your program.
use the symbolic computing package Matlab as an aid to solve problems that were
generally inaccessible just a generation ago
Each strand will consist of a 2 hour lecture followed by a 1 hour tutorial session.
