Functions (and their inverses), limits, asymptotes, continuity; differentiation and applications; integration, the definite integral and applications; inverse trigonometric functions; the logarithmic and exponential functions and applications; sequences and series; mathematical induction; the binomial theorem and applications; introduction to probability theory; introduction to 3-dimensional geometry; introduction to linear algebra.

Assumed knowledge: A level of knowledge equivalent to achieving a mark of at least 60 in HSC Mathematics Advanced. Students who have taken HSC Mathematics Standard will not have achieved the level of knowledge which is assumed in this course.

Note: This course is not intended for students who propose to study a substantial amount of Mathematics beyond first year level. Many later year courses in Mathematics have completion of MATH1231, MATH1241 or MATH1251 as a prerequisite. This course can be taken as a preparatory course by students who need to take MATH1131 but do not meet the assumed knowledge requirement. 

This course is not available as a General Education Course or as an Elective where students have met the assumed knowledge of Mathematics and Mathematics Extension 1.
