Math2041 Examination
Today is the day of my Semester one Mathematical Methods for Computer Scientists Exam at RMIT worth a staggering %70 of the subjects mark.
Held in the Upper Storey Hall from 9:15-12:30 its one mammoth exam filled with joyful 3D Vectors and matrix Transformations.
What I will have supposedly gained from this Course (everywhere else its known as a Subject).
How to:
1. apply the core mathematical skills such as arithmetic, algebraic manipulation, elementary geometry and trigonometry to a range of problems.
2. apply the techniques of integral and differential calculus to formulate and solve problems involving change and approximation; formulate and solve first-order differential equations.
3. recognise the properties of the common mathematical functions (polynomials, exponentials, logarithms) and their combinations commonly found in computer science (e.g. in algorithmic complexity theory, information theory).
4. apply the techniques of vector and matrix analysis to problems involving three-dimensional geometry, motion and transformations in three-dimensional space, such as would be used by a subsequent course in computer graphics.
5. use the Java programming language to write (and modify) small programs which apply common mathematical methods and algorithms to a selection of simple problems;
6. analyse and report on any interesting phenomena; critically evaluate the performance of each algorithm/implementation.
