Notes

As of 21 September: MATH6000.

Also an E-Book: Engineering Mathematics by John Bird.

Exercise

Tutorials start in Week 2. The exercises are found in your notes, the starred are probably the most important in terms of the tests. All the exercises have been collate here.

Timetable

My best understanding is that your timetables are still changing. I will see ye in class to give the latest information that I have.

Calculators

Please note the following taken from the CIT code of conduct for CIT examination candidates:

“Where a pocket calculator is used it must be silent, self-powered and non-programmable. 

It may not be passed from one candidate to another. Instructions for its use may not be 
brought into the Examination Hall. 
The term ‘programmable’ includes any calculator that is capable of storing a sequence of 
keystrokes that can be retrieved after the calculator is turned off or powers itself off. Note that the 
capacity to recall, edit and replay previously executed calculations does not render a calculator 
programmable, provided that this replay memory is automatically cleared when the calculator is 
powered off. Also, the facility to store numbers in one or more memory locations does not render 
a calculator programmable. 
Calculators with any of the following mathematical features are prohibited: 
• Graph plotting 
• Equation solving 
• Symbolic algebraic manipulation 
• Numerical integration 
• Numerical differentiation 
• Matrix calculations 
Calculators with any of the following features are prohibited 
• Data Banks 
• Dictionaries 
• Language translators 
• Text retrieval 
• Capability of remote communication“
