This Unit is designed to enable candidates to know, understand and apply algebraic techniques to manipulate expressions and solve equations commonly found in engineering. It also provides candidates with an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to solve problems involving vectors. The Unit also allows candidates the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to analyse trigonometric functions and their graphs.

On completion of the Unit candidates should be able to:

1 Apply algebraic techniques to manipulate expressions and solve equations commonly found in engineering.
2 Solve problems using vectors in two dimensions.
3 Analyse trigonometric functions and their graphs.
