Transitiion Mathematics B (TMB)

This course continues on from TM1 but is complete in itself as a preparatory course for a study of first year tertiary mathematics, in business, applied science and engineering. Topics covered in TMB include an introduction to functions, trigonometry, vectors, inequalities, analytic geometry, sequences and series and an introduction to calculus. The emphasis is on graphical representation and interpretation and application of the content to problem solving and mathematical modelling.

If you are using this course to meet prerequisite requirements it is necessary to obtain confirmation of their adequacy before enrolment. These courses may NOT meet prerequisite requirements of all institutions.

The learning package for TMB consists of a Course Outline, the texts, Transition Mathematics 2 - Technical Mathematics Modules, Transition Mathematics + Intermediate Mathsmatics Modules, Study Guides to support the text, and module and assessment tests. Students also have access by telephone, fax, email or letter to a tutor for assistance with queries and to provide guidance with course matters.

Students are encouraged to make use of electronic learning aids such as computer software and graphics calculators.

After working through the material of the course and successfully completing the assessment tests students will be issued with a Statement of Completion. An optional formally supervised examination is available on request. Students who complete the supervised examination obtain a Statement of Attainment showing a grade of Pass, Credit, Distinction or Higher Distinction. These formal examinations are organized at a time and place suitable to the student.
