What's On at UWA

Make every word count when you are doing written assignments.

This workshop will identify characteristics of successful seminar presentations and will get you thinking about how you can clearly convey your research to a wider audience.

This session also covers the definition of a function and links them to graphical representations of mathematical or experimental relationship. The concepts of domain and range are introduced in this graphical format as well as algebraically. An introduction to composite functions (and their domain/range) is also included. Recommended for MATH1701 and higher level MATH students wishing to revise this topic.

Learn how to manage your study time better using year, weekly and daily planners.

If you want to improve your English language pronunciation, working on word stress is a good place to start. This workshop offers practical, hands on activities to help you improve your spoken communication by getting the stress right in words and word groups.

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.

This session demonstrates that most of the functions we deal with are transformations of simpler functions. Furthermore, there are certain ways of reading functions which allow us to graph and understand more complicated functions. Topics include definition of a function, square root and reciprocal functions, the various types of transformation (horizontal/vertical translation, horizontal/vertical dilation, reflections and combined translations).

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 simple setting and demonstrate how it applies to some common statistical tests. Recommended for anyone studying introductory stats.

If you want to improve how you respond to IELTS essay task questions, this workshop is for you! You can apply the skills you learn to essays you write at UWA. This workshop runs for 2 hours. Free for UWA degree course students.

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 general. We will discuss simple proofs and counter examples for test style questions and introduce the concept of Nullspace.
