Not only is numeracy a life skill, but an understanding of mathematics helps to develop skills in critical thinking and problem solving, which can be used throughout your academic studies and your future career.
Here you can explore the live workshops the Centre for Academic Success has to offer over the next couple of weeks on the theme of Mathematics.
This workshop explores combining functions using algebraic operations, creating a new function by composition of functions, evaluating composite functions, finding the domain of a composite function, and decomposing a composite function into its component functions.

Adding rational expressions and simplifying is relatively easy. However, going the other way round, expressing a single rational function as the sum of two or more simpler ones is much more difficult. This workshop teaches us how to handle partial fractions and denominators with repeated quadratic factors.

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of degree 2. The ''U'' shaped graph of a quadratic is called a parabola. A quadratic equation has two solutions. Either two distinct real solutions, one double real solution or two imaginary solutions. There are several methods we can use to solve a quadratic equation explored in this workshop.

In this workshop, we will introduce the concept of Linear Algebra. You may have come across sets of two or three simultaneous equations before. We will extend the idea of simultaneous equations in the wider field of linear Algebra. We will look at the different solutions of sets of simultaneous equations.
