1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Welcome as a student to Mathematics I, MAT1581. You will see the old codes MAT181Q and WIM131U on some of your material. This is correct as the study material did not change only the code to reflect that it is now a semester course. You must always use the code MAT1581. Check your registration papers now to confirm for which semester you are registered. Call the lecturer if in doubt or check on myUNISA. If you are registered for semester 1 you will write your final examination in May/June 2014 and qualify for this by doing assignments for semester 1. If you are registered for semester 2 you will write your final examination in October/November 2014 and qualify for this by doing assignments for semester 2.
1.1 Study Material
NOTE: THE COVER OF YOUR STUDY GUIDES SHOULD HAVE THE WORDING:
MATHEMATICS I LINKED TO
MATHEMATICS MINING I
MAT181QE/WIM131UE
You will receive three study guides. Corrections are given in addendum 14.1 at the end of this letter. Ignore the codes MAT181Q and WIM131U in these study guides. Your code is MAT1581. Please forward possible mistakes to the lecturer to be included in future letters to students. You need to work on your mathematics regularly. The amount of time you study is not important, but with absolute concentration and maximum effort your time will be used efficiently. See an example of a timetable further on in this letter. If you have access to the Internet, you can view the study guides and tutorial letters for the modules for which you are registered on the University’s online campus, http://my.unisa.ac.za
Some of this tutorial matter may be out of print when you register. Tutorial matter that is not available when you register will be posted to you as soon as possible, but is available on myUnisa. You need not wait to receive the study material by post to start studying.

3.1 Lecturer(s)
Your lecturer at the time of compiling this tutorial letter (July 2013) is Miss LE Greyling, Florida Campus. If you experience any problems with the mathematical content you are welcome to contact the lecturer: 1) by e-mail ( [email protected] ) 2) by sending a message using the Questions and Answers function on myUNISA. 3) by telephone (011-471-2350). If the service is available you can leave a voicemail
message. The message must contain your name, the subject and a telephone number where you can be reached. You may also ask the lecturer to call you if she is in the office and you do not have sufficient funds on your phone.
4) by fax ( 086 274 1520) 5) or personally. For a personal visit you must make an appointment by telephone or e-mail.
You must be prepared to come to the Florida Campus in Roodepoort for a personal visit. You should spend time on a problem but do not brood over it, in most cases you only need a hint from the lecturer to solve the problem or to move forward with your studies. You can save valuable time if you contact your lecturer when needed. If you disagree with a solution in the study guide make contact so that we can work together to correct mistakes. You must mention your student number and the code MAT1581 in all enquiries about this module. Any question without your student number and code MAT1581 will be ignored.

5 STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE MODULE
Important information appears in your MyStudies@Unisa brochure.
5.1 Tutor Classes
Contact your nearest regional office to register for the tutorial program. The regional offices organize tutorial classes if enough students are interested. Your tutor will be a qualified mathematician approved by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. As part of student support you may be assigned to an e-tutor. The e-tutor will contact you on your mylife e-mail through myUNISA. The lecturer is not responsible for any tutorial classes organised by student support services.
5.2 Discussion classes
There are no discussion classes by the lecturer for this subject.
5.3 Science foundation Project
This project is financed by the Department of Education. Extra classes in mathematics will be offered to students identified as “AT-RISK” to fail. The regional offices are responsible to contact you if you are one of these students as classes will be at the regional office. This is separate from the ordinary tutorial services rendered by the regional offices. This service is also using e-tutors.
5.4 Other services @ Regional offices
For information on the various student support systems and services available at Unisa (e.g. student counseling, language support, academic writing), please consult the publication Mystudies@Unisa that you received with your study material.
You can access myUnisa at your regional office learner centre.
6 MODULE-SPECIFIC STUDY PLAN
To successfully prepare for submitting your assignments you have to work according to a time table. Use the following table or draw up your own table to schedule your studies for this subject. Be realistic. You need to add additional factors like work, family commitments and rest. If you do not schedule your “play time” you will feel guilty and stressed instead of relaxing. Your study material is compiled in such a way that you should be able to complete a unit per day. The post-test should take you another day or a bit longer if you need to revise some of the work. Warning: Do not study selectively. To explain, do not take the assignment and try to find similar questions in the study guides and only work through those questions.
8
Take note of the comments as some work is revision of what you have done in Grade 12 or earlier. You should be able to work through those units quickly. From the final closing date of registration to the due date of your last assignment you have about 9 weeks. Concentrate on new work. The lecturer marked parts that she thinks can be regarded as revision, but you must judge for yourself.

8 ASSESSMENT
8.1 Assessment plan
Students must complete and submit all assignments. Assignment 01 gives you admission to the examination. Your assignment marks will be used to calculate your year mark. Your year mark will form part of your final mark for the subject. Your performance in your assignments thus plays a vital part in your final mark.
Assignment % of Year mark Description and Instructions
01 10 20 Multiple choice questions on basic concepts
02 50 Written assignment on Module 3,4, 5, and 8.
03 40 25 Multiple choice questions on all modules.
04 0 Written assignment on Module 9 and 10 Optional submission. Solutions on myUNISA for self-evaluation.
Your final mark will be calculated as follows: 20% Year mark + 80% Examination mark You need a final mark of 50% in order to pass the subject with a subminimum of 40% on your examination mark. A subminimum of 40% means that if you receive less than 40% in the exam you fail and in this case your year mark does not count. Each module in your study guides contains a post-test with solutions to help you prepare for the compulsory assignments and the final examination.
8.2 General assignment numbers
You must submit assignment 01, 02 and 03 for the semester you are registered. Assignment questions per semester are given in 8.4 below.
8.2.1 Unique assignment numbers
All assignments have their own unique number per assignment and per semester given in the table below.
8.2.2 Due dates for assignments

Warning: Plan your programme so that study problems can be sorted out in time. No extension will
MAT1581/101
11
be given by the lecturer without valid reasons that can be verified. The dates on myUNISA may differ from dates in your tutorial letter and messages from the university. You may confirm dates with the lecturer if a message seems suspect.
8.3 Submission of assignments
For Mathematics I you have to send in three assignments to the university before the given closing dates. You will not be permitted to write the examination if you do not send in assignment 01. You may submit assignment 04. Submit the assignments linked to your registration period (semester 1 or 2). Note: use the correct unique number, assignment number and module code.
8.3.1 Multiple choice assignments
Prepare your answers before deciding on how to submit your assignment. Select the correct answer from the 3 possible answers given. You can submit your assignment in one of three ways:
1) Preferred method online through myUNISA. Simply follow the instructions on screen. 2) Using an internet-enabled mobile phone. When submitting this way use the UNISA mobile
application. Read how to download it to your phone and submit your MCQ assignment answers: http://www.unisa.ac.za/mobileapp.
3) Using the mark reading sheet provided. For detailed instructions refer to my Studies @ Unisa 2014. Remember: - Only use the orange mark-reading sheet that you received with your study material.
No other sheets will be accepted. - Only use an HB pencil. - Do not attach a barcode sticker. - Mark-reading sheets should not be put in an assignment cover and stapled. - A mark-reading sheet that is filled in incorrectly, damaged or folded cannot be
marked.
8.3.2 Written assignments
The rules for assignments are: - Please keep a copy of your answers. - Submit answers in numerical order. - Keep to the due dates.
Write your answers down in the correct order and make sure that every answer is numbered clearly. Make sure that your answers are clear and unambiguous. Do not string a series of numbers together without any indication of what you are calculating. Be careful with the use of the equal sign (=). The correct units must be shown in you answer. Note that we are not only interested in whether you can get the correct answer, but also in whether you can formulate your thoughts correctly. Mere calculations are not good enough – you have to make sure that what you have written down consists of mathematically correct notation, which makes sense to the marker. Students must send in their own work. Of course, it is a good thing to discuss problems with
12
fellow students. However, where copying has clearly taken place disciplinary action will be taken. An information sheet containing the formulas is enclosed at the end of this letter for your convenience. Keep this sheet at hand when completing your assignments. The same sheet will be supplied during the examination. Consult this sheet regularly, it may mean the difference between success and failure in this module. Make sure you know how to use the table of integrals in reverse to find derivatives. You need not memorize all formulas and can check memorized formulas. You may submit written assignments either by post or electronically via myUnisa. Choose one way to submit, do not use both. Assignments may not be submitted by fax, e-mail, registered post or courier. Assignments by post: Make sure that you complete the assignment cover. If the subject or assignment number is incorrect your assignment can not be noted as received. Each assignment must have a separate cover with the unique number. Submit one assignment per envelope. All regional offices have Unisa post boxes. Only use the SA postal services if you cannot get to a regional office or one of the drop-off boxes listed in my Studies @ Unisa 2014. Assignments should be addressed to: The Registrar, PO Box 392, UNISA, 0003 To submit via myUnisa: You can scan your handwritten assignment answers to be submitted electronically. Don’t scan the assignment cover as the system will create a cover for you when you upload the assignment. Your assignment must be combined in one document. Only one document can be uploaded per assignment. Log in with your student number and password. Select the module. Click on assignments. Click on the assignment number you want to submit. Follow the instructions on the screen.

8.5 Marking and Feedback on Assignments
After you hand in your assignment it gets recorded by the department of student assessment. The assignments are ordered by date and will be sent to external markers. It is impossible for the lecturer to mark all assignments. In theory the earlier you submit your assignment, the earlier you will receive your marked assignment.
A selection of assignments will be checked by the lecturer to make sure that the memorandum is followed and that all answers are marked consistently. After the marks are recorded the assignment is returned to you.
When you receive the marked assignment please check that the marks are added correctly and contact us as soon as possible if you find any mistakes. For written assignments, markers will comment constructively on your work. Solutions to all questions in the written assignments will be available on myUNISA two weeks after the due date. You may request a copy of the assignment solutions by e-mail from the lecturer two weeks after the due date. E-mails without a student number and module code will be deleted. As soon as you have received the commentaries and solutions, please check your answers. The assignments and the commentaries on these assignments constitute an important part of your learning and should help you to be better prepared for the next assignment and the examination.
9 OTHER ASSESSMENT METHODS
There are no other assessment methods for this module.
10 EXAMINATION
Particulars about the examination will be sent to you by the examinations division during the year. Note that lecturers cannot give admission to the examination if you failed to obtain access to the examination nor can we change the examination date or your chosen venue. Please check your permission to write the examination a month before the examination on myUNISA. Also check your examination date and center. Copies of previous examination papers are not available on request from the lecturer. The most recent paper is available on MyUnisa without memorandum. Results can be viewed on myUnisa and will be posted to you. Included are preparation examination papers. These are old papers showing the kind of questions as well as the topics covered. The paper must be done after you have submitted your second compulsory assignment. The solutions of these papers will be posted on MyUnisa with other important information regarding your examination paper. When attempting this preparation paper, work under examination conditions. Your paper will be two hours and 80 marks. Divide the paper into two sections of one hour each. Sit down and attempt to do all the questions in that section without referring to your notes. Use the memorandum to mark your work. Determine which areas you need to concentrate on before the examination.

9. Maximum/minimum For turning points: f '(x) = 0
Let x = a be a solution for the above If f '' (a) > 0, then a is a minimum point If f ''(a) < 0, then a is a maximum point For points of inflection: f " (x) = 0 Let x = b be a solution for the above
Test for inflection: f (b - h) and f(b + h) Change sign or f '"(b) ≠ 0 if f '"(b)
exists.
