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 (...)

12:00 - WORKSHOP - Calculating limits (1 variable functions) : MathsSmart, Student Services
|
Website |
More Information
|
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 (...)

12:00 - EVENT - Calculating limits (2 variable functions) : MathsSmart, Student Services
|
Website |
More Information
|
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 (...)

|
Website |
More Information

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 (...)
