BRIEF COURSE OVERVIEW

Teaching Methods
Lecture, Tutorial

Brief Course Description

Provides the essential mathematical techniques of Physical Science and Engineering. These are the methods of Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. Multivariable Calculus involves a study of the differential and integral calculus of functions of two or more variables. In particular it covers introductory material on the differential calculus of scalar and vector fields, and the integral calculus of scalar and vector functions. Differential Equations arise from mathematical models of physical processes. Also includes the study of the main analytical and numerical methods for obtaining solutions to first and second order differential equations.

Calculators: In all assessment tasks, a standard non-programmable non-graphing scientific calculator is permitted. Resource book: In the quizzes and the exam, students are permitted to use a single A4-sized, double-sided, handwritten cheat sheet. Additional Assessment Information Students are required to complete the Academic Honesty Module which is on the FSCIT Student Guide Blackboard Site http://blackboard.newcastle.edu.au/ The purpose of this module is to help students understand referencing and plagiarism issues.

When preparing work for assessment or publication it is the student's responsibility to demonstrate an awareness of the University's Policy on Racism and Guidelines for use of Inclusive Language. Please see http://www.newcastle.edu.au/policy/000797.html .

Late Penalty An assessment item submitted after the due date without an approved extension of time will be penalised by the reduction of the mark awarded for the assessment item. Ten percent of the possible maximum mark for the assessment item will be deducted for each day or part day that the item is late. Weekends count as one day in determining the penalty. Assessment items submitted more than five days after the due date will be awarded zero marks. Special Circumstances Affecting Assessment Items Extension of Time for Assessment Items, Deferred Assessment and Special Consideration for Assessment Items or Formal Written Examinations Assessment items must be submitted by the due date in the Course Outline unless the Course Coordinator approves an extension. Unapproved late submissions will be penalised in line with the University policy specified in Late Penalty above. Note that different procedures apply for minor and major assessment tasks. Students who miss a quiz will be awarded an estimate calculated by the course coordinator provided The student can provide an appropriate reason for the absence; and The student can provide documentation that supports it deemed appropriate and sufficient by the coordinator; and The coordinator is alerted alerted via email or telephone on or before the day of the absence.

For Semester 1 courses: 31 March 2011. To check or change your enrolment online go to myHub: https://myhub.newcastle.edu.au Students cannot enrol in a new course after the second week of term, except under exceptional circumstances. Any application to add a course after the second week of term and before the HECS census date must be on the appropriate form [http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/student-forms/], and should be discussed with the Course Coordinator, staff in the Student Hubs, or with your Program Executive at UoNS if you are a Singapore student. Students may withdraw from a course without academic penalty on or before the last day of term. Any withdrawal from a course after the last day of term will result in a fail grade. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Academic integrity, honesty, and a respect for knowledge, truth and ethical practices are fundamental to the business of the University. These principles are at the core of all academic endeavour in teaching, learning and research. Dishonest practices contravene academic values, compromise the integrity of research and devalue the

quality of learning. To preserve the quality of learning for the individual and others, the University may impose severe sanctions on activities that undermine academic integrity. There are two major categories of academic dishonesty:

Academic fraud is a form of academic dishonesty that involves making a false representation to gain an unjust advantage. Without limiting the generality of this definition, it can include: a. falsification of data; b. using a substitute person to undertake, in full or part, an examination or other assessment item; c. reusing one's own work, or part thereof, that has been submitted previously and counted towards another course (without permission);

d. making contact or colluding with another person, contrary to instructions, during an examination or other assessment item; e. bringing material or device(s) into an examination or other assessment item other than such as may be specified for that assessment item; and f. making use of computer software or other material and device(s) during an examination or other assessment item other than such as may be specified for that assessment item.

g. contract cheating or having another writer compete for tender to produce an essay or assignment and then submitting the work as ones own. Plagiarism is the presentation of the thoughts or works of another as one's own. University policy prohibits students plagiarising any material under any circumstances. Without limiting the generality of this definition, it may include: a. copying or paraphrasing material from any source without due acknowledgment; b. using another persons ideas without due acknowledgment; c. collusion or working with others without permission, and presenting the resulting work as though it were completed independently. Plagiarism is not only related to written works, but also to material such as data, images, music, formulae, websites and computer programs. Aiding another student to plagiarise is also a violation of the Student Academic Integrity Policy and may invoke a penalty. For further information on the University policy on academic integrity, please refer to the Policy on Student Academic Integrity at the following link - http://www.newcastle.edu.au/policylibrary/000608.html The University uses an electronic text matching system called Turnitin. When you submit assessment items please be aware that for the purpose of assessing any assessment item the University may Reproduce this assessment item and provide a copy to another member of the University; Communicate a copy of this assessment item to a text matching service (which may then retain a copy of the item on its database for the purpose of future checking); Submit the assessment item to other forms of checking.

ACADEMIC AND STUDENT EXPECTATIONS (ASE) Guidelines relating to academic and student expectations at the University have been developed for both staff and students. These guidelines are available at the following link - http://www.newcastle.edu.au/expectations/ Web Address for Rules Governing Undergraduate Academic Awards http://www.newcastle.edu.au/policylibrary/000311.html
