Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

There are no prerequisite courses but it is assumed that you have knowledge of differentiation techniques.


Course Description

In this course you will build on the knowledge you acquired in Advanced Mathematics 1 and you will gain the mathematical skills required for further tertiary-level study in the fields of engineering, applied science and computing. It is a skill-based course. You will develop an understanding of integral calculus, differential equations, numerical methods and complex numbers, which will provide you with a firm foundation in analysis, problem solving and the use of technology.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

See Learning Outcomes.


Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Perform a range of mathematical routines and procedures in relation to integral calculus and techniques of integration.
  • Solve first order and simple second order differential equations.
  • Employ numerical methods to find approximate solutions of definite integrals and differential equations.
  • Represent complex numbers in both polar and rectangular forms and use these to carry out operations and solve problems over the complex number system.
  • Apply mathematical techniques to solve application-style problems.

Program Learning Outcomes

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

  • Explain and apply foundational knowledge in one or more academic disciplines
  • Employ academic English and communication skills appropriately in a range of academic contexts
  • Demonstrate familiarity and capability in study skills for an Australian university environment
  • Work independently and in groups to meet learning outcomes
  • Apply approaches to critical and analytical thinking and problem solving
  • Use a range of current learning technologies to enhance academic outcomes


Overview of Learning Activities

This course includes a combination of lectures and tutorials as well as an equivalent amount of time spent in self-study completing exercises and additional tasks outside of scheduled classes.

You are expected to actively participate in all learning activities including note taking during scheduled classes, discussion, answering questions both verbally and in writing, solving both class exercise questions and revision tasks.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems. You will have access to important announcements, staff contact details, teaching schedules, assessment timelines and a variety of important learning materials.


Overview of Assessment

You will be assessed on how well you meet the course’s learning outcomes and on your development against the program learning outcomes.

Assessment will include:

  • Task 1: Quizzes, 30%, CLO 1, CLO 2, CLO 3, CLO 4
  • Task 2: Application Task, 35%, CLO 5
  • Task 3: Examination, 35%, CLO 1, CLO 2, CLO 3, CLO 4

Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.

If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator of the Disability Liaison Unit if you would like to find out more.

Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions which are available for review online: https://www.rmit.edu.au/about/governance-and-management/governance/policies/assessment-policy.
