Level 3 - Engineering Technician
Mathematics 1
Course Overview
Mathematics is a subject of enormous importance to the education of engineers in all disciplines, metallurgy and casting. The definition and solution of engineering problems rely upon the ability of the engineer to represent systems and their behaviour in mathematical terms, which in turn depends upon the use of various mathematical tools.
​
This module introduces the relevant Mathematical concepts to equip the engineer with subject knowledge and how this can be applied to the technical module areas in the Metallurgy and Casting Programme.
​
This module will help your engineers identify the application of algebraic laws and algebraic manipulation techniques to solve problems involving algebraic functions, formulae, and graphs.
Your engineer will understand how to apply trigonometric rations, trigonometric techniques and graphical methods to solve simple problems involving areas, volumes and sinusoidal functions.
​
Learn to understand when and how to apply statistical methods to manipulate and display scientific and metallurgical data; identify and apply the elementary rules of calculus arithmetic to solve problems that involve differentiation.
