Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Understand basic concepts of analytical geometry and linear algebra and explain their intuitive meanings to their peers;
2. Carry out the basic techniques and algorithms of analytic geometry and linear algebra using pen and paper in simple situations, a computer in some more complicated ones; and
3. Apply the techniques and algorithms to solve problems and to mathematically model simple applications from engineering, science, finance and other areas.

Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
To obtain a particular grade in this unit it is necessary that students must complete all assessment items. All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the individual assessment items. In order to pass this unit students have to obtain a mark of 50% or greater for the assessment as a whole, and 50% in the final exam.
| HD | FM >= 85 |
| DI | FM >= 75 |
| CR | FM >= 65 |
| P | FM >= 50 |
| NX | FM < 50 |
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Your participation in class activities will enhance your understanding of the unit content and therefore the quality of your assessment responses. Lack of participation may result in your inability to satisfactorily pass assessment items. Experience has shown that students who do not attend classes, have difficulty passing the unit.
Students should also be aware that the subject will be examined on material covered in classes, it is the individual student's responsibility to ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with this material. Attendance at classes is one of the best ways of ensuring this familiarity. While some of the course materials are available online, these are intended to be broad outlines of the lectures. Do not make the mistake of assuming that the materials perfectly substitute for class attendance and participation.
Required IT skills
Students need to possess the ability to use on-line searching tools from the Internet, and a word processor to undertake various assessment tasks in the unit.
Work placement, internships or practicums
