EDMTH1000 Introduction to Technical Maths

On completion of this unit , students should have developed the mathematical understanding and tools needed to undertake further mathematical studies, including in an engineering discipline. Students will be able to demonstrate competency with basic technical mathematics; use functions involving powers, logarithms and exponents and trigonometric functions; manipulate a wide range of algebraic equations in order to substitute values and to transform to solve for a particular variable; solve systems of linear equations; preform basic operations on vectors and matrices; use geometric and trigonometric properties of angles and circles to solve problems; apply the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus and apply the above skills in context to solve technical and engineering problems.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree. To find out more about domestic tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
