Although MATH1231 contains an introduction to the Theory of Statistics, it is primarily concerned with the study of two broad areas: Linear Algebra and Calculus.

Linear algebra is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vector spaces, or linear spaces, and linear transformations. Problems in mathematics that exhibit linearity are most likely to be solved, and do not exhibit the chaotic behaviour of non-linear problems.

The Calculus strand studies topics such as differential equations and series. Many of the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, biology and economics can be formulated as differential equations. Series are needed to evaluate functions. For example, how does an electronic calculator evaluate sin2 or log3?
