Test 1
The 15% Test 1 will take place at 09:00 on Wednesday 1 March, Week 5, in B149. There is a sample test in the notes.
Week 4
We did some examples of matrix arithmetic and looked at Matrix Inverses — “dividing” for Matrices.
As an application we solved matrix equations and linear systems.

Manuals
The manuals are available in the Copy Centre and must be purchased as soon as possible.
Tutorials
Tutorial for Group A: Mondays at 15:00 in B145
Tutorial for Group B: Mondays at 14:00 in B143
Week 1
We began our study of Chapter 2, Vector Algebra. We looked at how to both visualise vectors and describe them algebraically. We learned how to find the magnitude of a vector, add them and scalar multiply them. We spoke about displacement vectors and introduced the vector product known as the dot product.
Week 2
We will continue working with the dot product and then introduce the cross product.
Test 1
The test will be in Week 5. There is a sample test in the notes.

Week 11
We started Chapter 4 by looking at integration by parts. We also looked at completing the square.
Week 12
We will look at centroids and centres of gravity.
