Course Syllabus in Fundamentals of Mathematics A. Course code: MA-01 B. Course title: Fundamental of Mathematics C. Course description: This is an integrative course. It aims to synthesize and reinforce the concepts, Processes and skills leamed in secondary school. The course is guided by the following principles. The need to emphasize on conceptual understanding more than procedural understanding but not sacrificing fundamental quantitative skills, The need to engage leamers in reflective thinking and provide them opportunities to think outside the box. It further intends to develop and strenathen the following general skills: Problern formulating and solving, justifying and reasoning, evaluating and extending analytical skills. D. Prerequisite: None E. Credit units: 3 units F, Course outcome: At the end of the course, the student will be able to: a. Gain proficiency of processes of arithmetic and fundamental operations of algebra. ». Motivate critical and analytical thinking and develop the ability to apply the basic knowledge of Mathematics in varied problem situation. ¢. Maintain accuracy and interest d. Analyse and solve practical problems on real numbers, Geometry, Measurements, and algebra,Preliminary period Time [Learning [Learning Strategies Resources | Suggested | allotment} outcome content Assessment Tools ~ Week 1 | The Algebra of || 1.
