Course alignment and coverage

Current official public course description checked 25 October 2026. No current section-level or weekly syllabus was publicly verified; topic alignment below does not claim a teaching sequence or assessment coverage.

Across this collection: 156 distinct original families and 468 parameter instances. Courses share topic banks; translations and shared mappings are not extra questions.

Supported learning objectives

  • Algebra essentials

    Solve linear equations, expand products, factor a quadratic and identify an inequality boundary.

  • Functions and domains

    Evaluate and compose functions, invert a linear function and find a square-root domain endpoint.

  • Powers and logarithms

    Evaluate integer powers and logarithms, apply a doubling model and solve an equal-base equation.

  • Trigonometry foundations

    Convert degrees to radians, use a right-triangle ratio and find a sine period. Numeric answers only.

What is not covered

Not full secondary-school review: analytic geometry, sequences/series, general inequalities, graphing and full trigonometric identities/equations are not covered. Check official enrolment restrictions; MATH1520 is a separate course.

An original worked example

Solve 2x+3=9. Enter x.

Worked solution

Answer: 3

  1. 2x=6.
  2. Divide by 2: x=3.
