2021 Semester 1

MAT1841 Continuous Mathematics for Computer Science


Assignment 1

• Assignment 1 is worth 10% of the final mark.

• There are five questions.

• To be submitted on moodle by 11:59pm AEST Friday 2 April 2021. See the instructions
under the assessment tab on moodle. Be sure to press the “Submit Assignment” button
to complete submission.

• You must submit a single pdf document of size at most 10MB. It is the student’s respon-
sibility to ensure that the file is uncorrupted.

• Each assignment must include a signed and dated assignment cover sheet.

• A penalty of 10% of the total possible mark per day will apply for late work.

• Show all working. You are required to clearly explain your steps using both English and
mathematical expressions. Most of the marks will be allocated for clear working and
explanations. A mathematical writing guide is on Moodle.
1. Let u = (5, −2, 3), v = (1, 2, 3) and w = (−1, 2, 3) be vectors in R3 .
Show that u × (v × w) = (u · w)v − (u · v)w.
