DESCRIPTION

This course is a sequel to MATHS 108 (General Mathematics 2 offered at the University of Auckland. The course consists of three parts as follows:

Part 1. Algebra:

  • Linear and matrix algebra, vector spaces and applications.

Part 2. Differential equations:

  • 1st order differential equations, 1st order systems and homogeneous constant coefficient second order linear differential equations.

Part 3. Calculus:

  • Sequences, series, integration techniques, multivariable calculus and optimization.


This course is designed to provide an understanding of many of the mathematical principles and methods involved in more advanced subjects in Commerce such as Econometrics, Finance, Market Research, and Operations Research/Management Science. Note: Students who have passed MATHS 108 with a B+ or better and who intend to advance in Mathematics are recommended strongly to take MATHS 250 rather than MATHS 208.


Pre-requisites and Restrictions Students entering this course should have passed any one of MATHS 108, 150 or 151, ENGSCI 111, or PHYSICS 111.
