Subject aims and description
A first-year subject in all degree courses in engineering
which coven the basic mathematical knowledge considered
to be minimally essential for an adequate understanding of
the concurrent first-year studies in engineering.
The subject presents some additional material relevant to
later engineering studies which will enable those students
with ability and interest to develop further their
mathematical knowledge and skills.
Functions, differentiation, integration methods, applications
of differentiation and integration, infinite series, complex
numbers, hyperbolic functions, differential equations,
analytical geometry, functions of more than one variable,
linear algebra, numerical methods.

A first-year mathematics subject for the Special Entry
Scheme.
Subject aims and description
The subject covers the basic mathematical knowledge
considered to be minimally essential for an adequate
understanding of the concurrent first-year studies in
engineering, but also covers extra mathematical groundwork.
The subject presents some additional material relevant to
later engineering studies which will enable those students
with ability and interest to develop further their
mathematical knowledge and skills.
