, 1 INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
Welcome to Calculus A module with the module code MAT1512. I hope you will find it both inter-
esting and rewarding. This module is offered as a semester module. You will be well on your way
to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly.
I hope you will enjoy this module, and wish you success with your studies.
Tutorial Matter
The Department of Despatch should supply you with the Study Guide and Tutorial Letter 101 at
registration and others later.
You will receive an inventory letter that will tell you what you have received in your study package
and also show items that are still outstanding. Also see the booklet entitled Study @Unisa. Check
the study material that you have received against the inventory letter.
PLEASE NOTE: Your lecturers cannot help you with missing study material.
Apart from Tutorial Letter 101 , you will also receive other tutorial letters during the semester.
These tutorial letters will not necessarily be available at the time of registration. Tutorial letters will
be despatched to you as soon as they are available or needed.
If you have access to the Internet, you can view the study guide and tutorial letters for the modules
for which you are registered on the University’s online campus, myUnisa, at http://my.unisa.ac.za
Tutorial Letter 101 contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assign-
ments for this module. I urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through
the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing ques-
tions to your lecturers.
In this tutorial letter you will find the assignments as well as instructions on the preparation and
submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also provides information with regard to other
resources and where to obtain them. Please study this information carefully.
Certain general and administrative information about this module has also been included. Please
study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
You must read all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and care-
fully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent information.
