Rationale/Aim
This course is about the basic mathematics that is fundamental and essential component in all streams of
undergraduate studies in sciences and engineering. The course consists of topics in differential calculus,
integral calculus, linear algebra and differential equations with applications to various engineering
problems. This course will cover the following main topics: Mean Value Theorems; Indeterminate Forms;
Taylor's and Maclaurin's Theorems. Partial Derivatives; Differentiability; Taylor's Expansion of Functions
of Several Variables. Maxima and Minima. Improper Integrals. Differentiation under Integral Sign
(Leibnitz rule).Multiple Integrals and their Properties. Applications of Multiple Integrals. System of Linear
Equations. Vector Spaces; Basis and Dimension of a Vector Space. Rank of a Matrix and its Properties.
Linear Transformation. Eigenvalues and Eigen vectors. Diagonalization . First Order Differential
Equations. Higher Order Differential Equations with Constant Coefficients. Cauchy-Euler Equations.
MATLAB is used in this course.

COURSE AND UNIVERSITY POLICIES
1. Communication: As per university regulations, all students are required to check their University
Moodle account regularly: Moodle is the official route of communication between the University/
Course lecturer and its students. To login, use the link the following link
https://moodle.mu.ac.zm/moodle/login/index.php

2. When You Cannot Meet a Course Requirement When you find yourself unable to meet an in-
course requirement because of illness or compassionate reasons, please advise the course instructor
in writing, with your name, Student number, and contact details. See the undergraduate calendar for
information on regulations and procedures for Academic Consideration.

3. Classroom Etiquette: To minimize disruptions and in consideration of your classmates, it is

required that you arrive on time and do not leave early. If you must do either, please do so quietly.

4. Cell Phones/Personal Laptops: The use of phones/personal Laptops during class is forbidden and
will result in you missing that present class for the day.

5. Late Submission of Assignments: It is expected that completed assignments will be submitted on

the due date and time noted on the assignment. The usual policy for late assignments is that a letter
grade is lost per day late. If no arrangement is made ahead of time, that is going to be adhered to
strictly. The teaching staff is well aware of the multiple time demands on students. In the case of
unusual circumstances or unavoidable conflicts, students discussed the details with the responsible
lecturer/Instructor and explored alternatives before the due date.

6. Excused Absences: Students claiming an excused absence for an in-class or when involving a large
part of a course’s major assessment or exam must supply documentation (such as a doctor's note or
Dean of student’s permission note, or Dean of Schools notes) justifying the absence.

7. Collaboration Policy and Academic Honesty: All class/assignment work if any should be done
independently unless explicitly indicated otherwise. You may discuss assignment/homework
problems and programming assignments with classmates, and I encourage you to do so. However,
you must write all solutions to the assignments on your own and cannot share them with other
students or use solutions obtained from other students and/or classmates. No excuses will be
accepted for copying others' work (from the current or past semesters), and violations will be dealt
with harshly. (Getting a bad grade is much preferable to cheating.) The university's policy on
academic integrity can be found at the following link: http://www.mu.ac.zm/students rules and
regulation/. In part, it reads, Unauthorized assistance refers to the use of sources of support that
have not been specially authorized in this policy statement or by the course instructor(s) in the
completion of academic work to be graded. Such sources of support may include but are not limited
to advice or help provided by another individual, published or unpublished written sources, and
electronic sources." You should be familiar with the policy in its entirety. In particular: use of a
previous semester's answer keys or online solution manuals for graded work is absolutely
forbidden. Any use of such material will be dealt with as an academic integrity violation.

8. Recording of Materials: Presentations which are made in relation to course work-including

lectures-cannot be recorded or copied without the permission of the presenter, whether the

4
 instructor, a classmate or guest lecturer. Material recorded with permission is restricted to use for
that course unless further permission is granted.

9. Resources: The Academic Calendars are the source of information about Mulungushi University
procedures, policies and regulations which apply to undergraduate, graduate and diploma programs.
