What Engineering Mathematics I covers

Engineering Mathematics I in Biomedical Engineering Level 5 builds the algebra, mensuration and trigonometry that later circuit work needs. You start with algebra: indices and logarithms following their laws, linear and quadratic equations, simultaneous equations, fractions and decimals. Mensuration covers the perimeter and area of regular figures, the area of irregular figures, and the volume and surface area of solids. Number systems and arithmetic operations on integers come next, followed by trigonometric ratios, functions, identities and equations, including trigonometry in triangles. The unit closes with hyperbolic functions, their identities, equations and engineering applications.
