Module Aim: The aims of the module are: (1) to equip students with the necessary mathematical skills to participate fully on the programme; (2) to extend students’ mathematical knowledge in preparation for further studies.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Evaluate distances, angles and areas for right angled and non right angled triangles and apply trigonometric relationships to the solution of right angled triangles.
LO2 Use algebraic methods to solve and manipulate equations including using calculus to locate minimum and maximum values of algebraic functions. Calculate the area and volume of regular shapes and to use algebra and calculus to determine parameters and to derive units for parameters from expressions.
LO3 Produce (a) statistical graphs including histograms and ogives and calculate Standard Deviation, Mean, Mode, Median and the quartile values. (b) materials schedules for construction projects and to calculate center lines, floor areas, wall areas, etc.; (c) basic programme schedules (Gantt charts etc.).
LO4 Calculate shear force & bending moment & draw appropriate diagrams for a simply supported beam.
