This unit is a duplicate unit of MAT9004. The ITIxxxx units have been created for the Monash Indonesia offering of the Master of Data Science due to the different teaching mode.

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:

1. use trees and graphs to solve problems in computer science;
2. apply counting principles in combinatorics;
3. describe the principles of elementary probability theory, evaluate conditional probabilities and use Bayes' Theorem;
4. demonstrate basic knowledge and skills of linear algebra, including the manipulation of matrices, solution of linear systems, and evaluate and apply determinants;
5. explain fundamental concepts in calculus including basic differentiation and integration, and composite, inverse and parametric functions;
6. perform key skills in the calculus of functions of several variables including the calculation of partial derivatives, find tangent planes and identify stationary points, root findings and convexity for optimisation.

010101
