Discusses how Laplace transforms can be used to solve differential equations. We will justify the definition of a Laplace transform and discuss a few examples before applying it to a differential equation. We will also use the Heaviside function to convert composite functions into a single function (...)

A step-by-step guide to finding all roots of real and complex numbers. We will cover some examples and discuss the patterns which emerge. (Note: it will be useful to have a good understanding of polar form, the complex plane, de Moivre's Theorem and the trigonometric ratios for standard 1st (...)

You have successfully sat maths exams before but it's nice to know how they work at UWA. This session provides some study suggestions for the lead up to exams and explains how maths study differs from other areas.
