This module covers the mathematics required for progression to year 1 of courses in physics,
engineering or mathematics. You cover algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus
(differential and integral), vectors, complex numbers and series. Including:
Algebra: algebraic relationships. Equalities and inequalities. Remainder and factor theorems.
Factorisation. Quadratic equations. Partial fractions. Indices and logarithms.
Geometry and trigonometry: revision of some Euclidean geometry. Cartesian coordinates
and straight lines. Inequalities and regions. Basic trigonometry. Trigonometric relationships.
Compound angles.
Calculus 1: (differentiation) basic differentiation. The product and quotient rule. Function of
a function. Differentiation of parametric forms and implicit functions. Second order
differentiation and turning points.
Calculus 2: (Integration) basic integration. Standard integrals, integration by inspection, by
substitution, by parts, using partial fractions. Definite integrals. Solution of first order
differential equations by separation of variables.
Coordinate geometry 2: polar coordinates.
Vectors: addition and subtraction. Decomposition and resolution. Scalar and vector
products.
Complex numbers: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Complex roots of
quadratic equations. The Argand diagram.
Series and approximations: permutations and combinations. Arithmetic and geometric
progressions. Binomial theorem. Maclaurin's and Taylor's theorem.
