Announcements
- Prof. Ram reads email but generally does not respond by email.
- The lectures will be recorded and made available in the LMS. The lecture recordings are NOT a complete resource and are usually a very incomplete record of the lecture. It is unreasonable to expect that you can do well on the assessment without more comprehensive and thorough utilisation of all resources.
- Plagiarism declaration: It is required to complete the plagiarism declaration in LMS, by clicking on the Plagiarism declaration link for this subject and completing the submission of the Plagiarism declaration through LMS for this subject.
- Academic Misconduct The start of semester pack includes a statement about Academic Misconduct (pdf file), Further information regarding academic misconduct and plagiarism is available at http://academichonesty.unimelb.edu.au/
- Generic Skills statement:
In addition to learning specific technical skills that will assist you in your future careers in science, engineering, commerce, education or elsewhere, you will have the opportunity to develop, in this subject, generic skills that will assist you in whatever your future career path:
- You will develop problem-solving skills (especially through tutorial exercises) including engaging with unfamiliar problems, and identifying relevant strategies.
- You will develop analytical skills - the ability to construct and express logical arguments and to work in abstract or general terms to increase the clarity and efficiency of the analysis.
- Through tutorials and other interactions with fellow students, you will develop the ability to work in a team. The school distinguishes between ethical collaboration, which is strongly encouraged, and plagiarism, which is prohibited.
- Printing arrangements for Peter Hall building Students must use UNICARD to print documents. The UNICARD printer is located near the G70 computer lab. Please note: there is not a money uploader in the Peter Hall Building. For more information about printing at the University and for locations of UNICARD uploaders direct students to Student IT Support: http://studentit.unimelb.edu.au/
- Housekeeping: The start of semester pack includes: Housekeeping (pdf file), SSLC responsibilities (pdf file).
- Stop1 Quick Reference Guide pdf file contains information on Requisite waivers, Enrolment after week 2, Electives, subject and major selection, study abroad, credit exemptions, academic adjustments, special consideration, exam reviews, Stop1 services, Healthand well being, further information.

- It is University Policy that:
“a further component of assessment, oral, written or practical, may be administered by the examiners in any subject at short notice and before the publication of results. Students must therefore ensure that they are able to be in Melbourne at short notice, at any time before the publication of results” (Source: Student Diary).
Students who make arrangements that make them unavailable for examination or further assessment, as outlined above, are therefore not entitled to an alternative opportunity to present for the assessment concerned (i.e. a ‘make-up’ examination).
Subject Outline
The handbook entry for this course is at https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2019/MAST10005.
This subject extends students' knowledge of functions and calculus and introduces them to the topics of vectors and complex numbers. Students will be introduced to new functions such as the inverse trigonometric functions and learn how to extend the techniques of differentiation to these. Integration techniques will be applied to solving first order differential equations.
Differential calculus: graphs of functions of one variable, trigonometric functions and their inverses, derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions, implicit differentiation and parametric curves. Integral calculus: properties of the integral, integration by trigonometric and algebraic substitutions and partial fractions with a variety of applications. Ordinary differential equations: solution of simple first order differential equations arising from applications such as population modelling. Vectors: dot product, scalar and vector projections, plane curves specified by vector equations. Complex numbers: arithmetic of complex numbers, sketching regions in the complex plane, De Moivre's Theorem, roots of polynomials, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
Assessment
Eight to ten assignments (written or online) due at regular intervals during semester amounting to a total of up to 50 pages (20%), and a 3-hour written examination in the examination period (80%). Up to one third of the assignment based assessment will be completed online.

Exercises
