About this booklet and how to use it
This ADU Course Pack consists of a Guide to Topics Covered in Calculus and Algebra in MATH1043,
the second semester of Engineering Mathematics I, a series of tutorials on difficult concepts covered
during the Math1043 course, and the solutions to the tutorial questions.
This is a guide to the topics covered in Calculus and Algebra in Math1043. The week in which the
topics are covered is a rough guide to the pace at which the syllabus is covered and to give you an idea
of what to prepare for that week. Obviously you will get a more exact picture of this as your lecturer
covers the topics. The Calculus and Algebra sections are given separately, but remember that they run
concurrently, i.e. in Week 1 the topics for Week 1 Calculus and Week 1 Algebra are covered.
In addition to the pace, the guide also serves to break the sections down for you into the main
components and refers you to the sections in the prescribed textbooks where useful material is to be
found.
Key to references: TC: Thomas, Weir, and Hass: Thomas' Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 13th
edition. E&P: Differential equations with Linear algebra (supplementary chapters for Math1014). The
numbers in brackets for the textbooks are the chapter and section numbers.
Lastly, the Guide also lists links to previous work, or prerequisite material. If you do not understand
this material before you go to your lecture, you will not understand what is going on. Your lecturer will
assume that you already know this work. Sullivan: Algebra and Trigonometry, 8/e (strongly
recommended textbook) has excellent sections that review the work you did at school.
Make sure that you understand the prerequisite material before you go to the lectures.
Following the Guide are the ADU tutorials from Block 3 to the end of the year.
Each tutorial follows the same format – a summary of the key concepts needed to be able to understand
the topic and do the exercises, followed by exercises that increase in difficulty so that you can test
whether you really do understand the work covered in the section. Solutions are included at the end of
the booklet. The material will be presented in a series of short video tutorials that can be accessed on
the MATH1043 site on Ulwazi, the e-learning platform of the university: https://ulwazi.wits.ac.za/ .
Once per week there will also be face-to-face ADU tutorials ( as and when Covid restrictions allow)
where your conceptual understanding will be tested and misunderstandings identified and cleared up.
You will need to sign up for the face-to-face tutorials on the website. Before attending a face-to-face
tutorial you will need to prepare by watching the relevant video tutorials and doing an online preparation
quiz. Worked solutions and notes will be made available to those who get at least one correct answer
on the quiz.
You must bring this booklet to each and every ADU Math1043 tutorial that you attend. Either print
it or bring it on a laptop, tablet or phone.

Calculus Chapter 5: Differential Equations
Key concepts
A differential equation is any equation that involves derivatives or differentials (ordinary or partial).
1) Variables Separable
2) Homogeneous
𝑀(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 = 0 where M and N have the same total degree
𝑑𝑦 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑣
𝑦 = 𝑣𝑥 𝑑𝑥
= 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑣) and 𝑑𝑥
= 𝑣 + 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑦 −𝑀(𝑥,𝑦) 𝑑𝑦
Method: Solve for 𝑑𝑥. (i.e. 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑁(𝑥,𝑦)
). Substitute 𝑦 = 𝑣𝑥 and write 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑣).
𝑑𝑣
Now 𝑣 + 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑣) which is variables separable. Integrate and substitute back for v to write
in terms of x and y.
3) Exact
Method: Test for “exactness”. Integrate M with respect to x and remember your constant of
integration could have been a function of y therefore 𝑐 = 𝜑(𝑦). Integrate N with respect to y
and remember your constant of integration could have been a function of x therefore 𝑐 = 𝜔(𝑥).
Combine terms (repeated terms appear only once) and write answer as 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐
4) Linear
𝑑𝑦
Standard form: 𝑑𝑥
+ 𝑃(𝑥)𝑦 = 𝑄(𝑥)
Method: Write in standard form to identify Integrating Factor. Multiply through by the
integrating factor then the equation becomes
𝑑
𝑑𝑥
(𝑒 ∫ 𝑃(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 𝑦) = 𝑒 ∫ 𝑃(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 𝑄(𝑥) and therefore

Key concepts
Modulus:
Component of 𝑎 in the direction of 𝑏 (how much of a vector acts in a certain direction). Projection of 𝑎 on a
line parallel to 𝑏:
𝑎∙𝑏
• |𝑎|cos𝜃 or |𝑏|
• Find the equation of the line through the point (A) parallel to the normal to the plane
Find B the point of intersection of the line and the plane
24.
Shortest vector between a point and a line:
• Choose arbitrary point P on the line, then 𝐴𝑃 ∙ 𝑑1 = 0 (shortest vector will be perpendicular)
Solve for 𝜆 and substitute into 𝐴𝑃
