What's On at UWA

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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

Topics in Calculus.

Topics in Trigonometry.

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 (...)

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. Specific tips are provided for common Level 1 MATH and STAT units before we (...)

With a compelling case, Dr Hugh Ross will challenge the commonly held misconception "everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense". The study of nature or science will be shown to complement and build confidence in the integrity of the Bible, without having to compromise eithe (...)
