This unit is primarily concerned with extending concepts of single variable calculus into the domain of several variables. It also looks at the construction of periodic functions with Fourier series. The calculus section of this unit is focussed on dealing with functions of several variables, of which the typical case is z = f(x,y). Functions like this are important because they describe many of...

Understanding the sources, fates and transport mechanisms of chemicals in the environment is critical to our ability to minimise or avoid anthropogenic impacts on the environment that we live and work in. Many industrial and everyday practices have had, or continue to have, detrimental impacts on the environment, and our ability to minimise or remediate these impacts is an important determinant...
