MUF 0091 Mathematics A Functions and Calculus)This part of the course consists of two units, Functions and Calculus. The Functions topic covers a wide range of functions and their

graphs, properties and applications. The Calculus unit covers work on Differential and Integral Calculus and some of their common

applications. These units of work have been chosen as the most suitable introduction to First Year University Mathematics courses for

students whose main area of study requires some mathematical competencies.

MUF 0092 Mathematics B Probability and Statistics)This part of the course consists of three units of work: Sequences, Series, and Probability and Statistics. Each unit of work includes

applications of the theory to common real life situations. The units of work have been designed to provide a range of knowledge,

essential skills and methods to equip students for tertiary study and to cater for a wide variety of student needs.

MUF 0101 Advanced Mathematics AIt is assumed that students studying Advanced Mathematics Part A will be concurrently studying, or will have completed, Mathematics

Part A, or its equivalent. All pre-requisite knowledge for the subject Mathematics is also a pre-requisite for Advanced Mathematics.

Students will develop detailed and specific mathematical skills through the study of the following units: Complex numbers, Vectors,

Matrices, Introduction to Differentiation and Circular functions.

MUF 0102 Advanced Mathematics BAll pre-requisite knowledge for the subject Mathematics is also a pre-requisite for Advanced Mathematics. Students will develop detailed

and specific mathematical skills through the study of the following units: Antiderivative calculations, Definite integrals, Differential

equations, Kinematics.

MUF0141 Fundamental Mathematics AThe subject develops mathematical knowledge, methods, skills and applications through the study of rational numbers, basic algebra,

sequences and series, graphs, geometry and trigonometry and business mathematics. Students will recall mathematical facts and

terminology, be familiar with a range of mathematical concepts and relationships, demonstrate algebraic, computational and problem-

solving skill, and be able to analyse verbally expressed problems from a mathematical perspective.

MUF0142 Fundamental Mathematics BThe subject develops mathematical knowledge, methods, skills and applications through the study of graphs, geometry, trigonometry,displaying and summarising data and networks. Students will recall mathematical facts and terminology, be familiar with a range of

mathematical concepts and relationships, demonstrate algebraic, computational and problem-solving skill, and be able to analyse

verbally expressed problems from a mathematical perspective.

MUF 0121 Physics APhysics Part A covers the fundamentals of the classical theory of mechanics, and provides students with practice in applying this

knowledge to a wide variety of realistic and everyday situations. Mechanics has three main parts: kinematics, dynamics and statics.

Kinematics, the study of ways to describe motion, is basic to all further study in Physics. Dynamics (the study of the effects of forces) and

statics (which studies stability and equilibrium) are not only important scientifically, but are also of great practical importance in

engineering.

MUF 0122 Physics BPhysics Part B consists of the fundamentals of the classical theory of waves, electricity and magnetism, and an introduction to some

aspects of modern physics that indicate the limits of applicability of the classical theory. Students will practise applying this knowledge

to a wide variety of contexts. This part of Physics is especially relevant to people today because we live in a high-technology society.

Knowledge of electricity and waves helps us to understand information and communication technology, and so helps us in assessing,

using, developing and improving it.
