This course continues on from MATH1013. It emphasizes an understanding of the fundamental results from calculus and linear algebra which can both be applied across a range of fields including the physical and biological sciences, engineering and information technologies, economics and commerce, and can also serve as a base for future mathematics courses. Many applications and connections with other fields will be discussed although not developed in detail.

Topics to be covered include:

Calculus - Integration and techniques of integration. Functions of several variables - visualisation, continuity, partial derivatives and directional derivatives.

Linear Algebra - theory and application of Euclidean vector spaces. Vector spaces: linear independence, bases and dimension; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; orthogonality and least squares.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information 
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website. In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via ‘Wattle’ outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

We believe that discussing mathematics is one of the best ways to master the material. Students are expected to engage actively and respectfully in cooperative problem-solving during the workshops and laboratories. Students are strongly encouraged to attend lectures and ask questions!

Assessment Task 1

Online quizzes

There will be a weekly online quiz through the WebAssign platform, covering recent topics from the linear algebra and calculus topics. Students enrolled in the class will receive WebAssign account during Week 1 and information will be posted on Wattle. The lowest two WebAssign scores will be dropped when calculating a student's overall WebAssign mark; note this does not include the Week 1 WebAssign quiz, which is associated to the first Laboratory. The date range for this task indicates the approximate due date for the first quiz, and the approximate return date for the last quiz. Further details can be found on the course Wattle site.

Assessment Task 2

Workshops: quizzes and cooperative problems

Weekly workshops led by demonstrators offer students a chance to work cooperatively on problems related to the class material. Workshop registration will be available on Wattle, and students should attend their scheduled workshop each week. Each workshop will also have a quiz based on questions recently assessed via WebAssign. The lowest two quiz scores will be dropped; this is intended to allow for students to miss a workshop or two due to illness or unavoidable conflicts. Please contact the lecturers about missing workshops only if you are unable to attend more than two workshops due to serious illness or family situation. If you miss your regular workshop in a particular week and would like to attend another, please introduce yourself to the demonstrator but be aware that your quiz mark may not be recorded.

Attending workshops is one of the most important class activities, as they represent one of the best opportunities to learn the material. Worksheets will be posted on Wattle by the Friday of the week preceding the workshop. The workshop worksheet is not handed in as an assignment; solutions are written in a workbook provided by you but the workbook is not submitted. Note that we will not be providing written solutions to workshop problems, so please take advantage of the workshops as the best opportunity to learn how to solve these problems.

The date range for this task indicates the approximate date of the first workshop, and the approximate date by which marks for the last workshop should be recorded on the course Wattle site.

Assessment Task 3

Final exam

The final exam will be a cumulative assessment of the material covered in the entire course, although the emphasis will be on material not yet assessed. To pass the course, students must score at least a 35% in each of the linear algebra and calculus portions of the exam. Students who earn a passing mark but do not meet these hurdles will be offered a supplementary exam. For a student who is offered a supplementary exam because of not meeting a hurdle, if the hurdles are passed on the supplementary exam then a grade of 50PS awarded; if not, an NCN grade is awarded.

Please check the ANU Examination Timetable once the end of semester exam timetable has been finalised, at http://www.anu.edu.au/students/program-administration/assessments-exams/examination-timetable to confirm the date, time and location of the final exam.

Assessment Task 4

Mid-semester exam

The mid-semester exam will evaluate students' understanding of course material covered in the first half of the class. The precise extent of assessable material will be announced on Wattle once the mid-semester exam is scheduled. Taking the mid-semester exam is a hurdle requirement for the course, unless specifically arranged otherwise. Students who do not take the mid-semester examination will receive an NCN in the class.

Please check the ANU Examination Timetable once the mid-semester exam timetable has been finalised, at http://www.anu.edu.au/students/program-administration/assessments-exams/examination-timetable to confirm the date, time and location of the mid-semester exam.

Assessment Task 5

Assignments

There will be two Assignments, the first available in week 4, due in week 6, and the second available in week 8 and due in week 10. The assignments will assess both mathematical solution skills and the skill of presenting a coherent mathematical argument.

The date range for this task indicates the approximate due date for the first assignment, and the approximate return date for the second assignment. It is intended that the marked assignments will be returned within 7 days after submission. Further details can be found on the Course Wattle site.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of the ANU culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically, committing to honest and responsible scholarly practice and upholding these values with respect and fairness.

The ANU commits to assisting all members of our community to understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to be familiar with the academic integrity principle and Academic Misconduct Rule, uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with.

The Academic Misconduct Rule is in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Very minor breaches of the academic integrity principle may result in a reduction of marks of up to 10% of the total marks available for the assessment. The ANU offers a number of online and in person services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. Visit the Academic Skills website for more information about academic integrity, your responsibilities and for assistance with your assignments, writing skills and study.

Online Submission

You will be required to electronically sign a declaration as part of the submission of any assignment (note: this is not required for WebAssign quizzes, and no other homework assignments are planned for MATH1014 in Semester 1, 2019). If an assignment submission is required, please keep a copy of the assignment for your records. Unless an exemption has been approved by the Associate Dean (Education) submission must be through Turnitin.

Hardcopy Submission

For some forms of assessment (hand written assignments, art works, laboratory notes, etc.) hard copy submission is appropriate when approved by the Associate Dean (Education). Hard copy submissions must utilise the Assignment Cover Sheet. Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.

Late Submission

Individual assessment tasks may or may not allow for late submission. Policy regarding late submission is detailed below:

• Late submission not permitted. If submission of assessment tasks without an extension after the due date is not permitted, a mark of 0 will be awarded.

Referencing Requirements

Accepted academic practice for referencing sources that you use in presentations can be found via the links on the Wattle site, under the file named “ANU and College Policies, Program Information, Student Support Services and Assessment”. Alternatively, you can seek help through the Students Learning Development website.

Returning Assignments

WebAssign quizzes offer immediate feedback in the form of correct answers, and sample solutions for some of the questions are available after the submission date. Marked workshop quizzes will be available at the following week's workshop. Each student is responsible for checking that their marks are entered correctly on Wattle; written records of the marks should be saved until they have been confirmed on Wattle. Any discrepancies should be reported a timely manner and no later than the end of Week 12.

Extensions and Penalties

Extensions and late submission of assessment pieces are covered by the Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure. The Course Convener may grant extensions for assessment pieces that are not examinations or take-home examinations. If you need an extension, you must request an extension in writing on or before the due date. If you have documented and appropriate medical evidence that demonstrates you were not able to request an extension on or before the due date, you may be able to request it after the due date.
