About this subject
This subject is designed to help you build the mathematical skills and confidence needed for university study. Mathematics plays an important role in many fields of study and helps you develop logical thinking, problem‑solving, and analytical skills that are useful well beyond the classroom. You will learn the basic concepts of numbers and algebra, progressing to the study of functions, including trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. The subject introduces differentiation from first principles and shows how derivatives are used to solve real‑world problems through graph sketching and optimisation. You will also learn the basics of integral calculus, with applications such as finding areas under curves. Throughout the subject, emphasis is placed on understanding concepts both visually and conceptually. Successful completion of Introduction to University Mathematics meets the prerequisite equivalent to pre‑tertiary Mathematics Methods 4 (MTM514117) for selected University of Tasmania subjects and degree programs, including Mathematics 1A (KMA152) and Mathematics 1B (KMA154). The subject may also be taken as an elective to support study in science or other degree programs.
