What's On at UWA

It's no secret that scientists (and others) use numbers, formulas, graphs and tables in their work. This workshop discusses some of the mathematical techniques you will find useful in your scientific studies. Topics include fractions, decimals, percentages, rates, Scientific Notation, the SI Unit (...)

This workshop is aimed at UWA’s international students to assist them in developing strategies for marketing themselves successfully to Australian employers. Learn about the importance of self –marketing, utilising contacts, researching and networking skills effectively, as well as managing (...)

Introduces some standard mathematical language (notations) useful in all areas of maths. Being fluent with this language often enables you to make the transition from brain to paper with ease so you can demonstrate a logical flow of ideas. This will make your work clearer to those who assess it (...)

In today’s competitive job market it is becoming more and more important for graduates to distinguish themselves not only through their academic achievements but through intangible qualities that demonstrate their potential as young professionals to progress into a leadership position. Learn (...)

Mathematical knowledge grows in logical steps so it's worth knowing how those steps are taken. Topics include compound statements, connectives, converse, the contrapositive, necessary and sufficient conditions, proof, axioms, theorems, deductive proof, proof by contradiction.

Recommended (...)

Detect and correct your algebraic errors and become mathematically independent by understanding expressions rather than memorizing lots of rules. This session focuses on common mistakes and misconceptions and shows you how to avoid them. Techniques for checking your algebraic steps are also (...)

Topics in functions and graphs.

In Linear Algebra, the concept and algebraic definition of a subspace can be difficult to visualise the first time you see them. In this workshop we match this algebraic definition to simple geometric properties based on vectors to build the foundations of an intuitive understanding of subspaces in (...)

Inference (or hypothesis testing) is a widely used technique for assessing evidence from data so it gets covered in most introductory statistics or data analysis units. The good news is that all statistical tests follow the same underlying structure. In this workshop we explore this structure in a (...)

HBF Outdoor Fitness, presented by LiveLighter is back from mid September and is bigger and better than ever, with double the number of locations over a massive 6 month duration! And the best bit? Sessions are FREE for HBF members!

Held outdoors in a fun team environment, the sessions are (...)

This sesssion introduces limits (left hand, right hand and limits at a point), including visual representations, and discusses a collection of tools to help you calculate limits. You will see that most limits can be calculated mentally and develop thought processes before writing down your workings (...)

The application process for the 2014 Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme will be opening soon.

The Programme seeks to enhance internationalisation in Japan by promoting mutual understanding between the people of Japan and those of other nations. It aims to enhance foreign (...)

Your resume is a snap shot of who you are. It is a powerful marketing tool that can gain an employer's interest in an instant. This workshop provides you with insights into what employers look for and how to make sure your resume is on the top of the pile and not thrown in the bin!

This session uses our knowledge of 1-variable functions and their limits to define limits for 2-variable functions. After that we discuss the various different types of calculation required to establish whether a limit exists. Recommended for first year and higher level MATH students wishing to (...)

We start to demystify the logarithm by exploring its definition with simple examples and finding its place in your mathematical toolkit. The rules for manipulating logarithm expressions (the "log laws") are introduced and used in standard test style questions. After that we demonstrate (...)
