Credit Units 3.0
This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of practical,
intellectual and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tools in
daily life.
The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an
exploration of patterns (in nature and the environment) and as an application of
inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring these topics, students are
encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a
set of formula but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example
and a rich language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool
for understanding and dealing with various aspects of present-day living, such
as managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric
designs, understanding codes used in data transmission and security, and
dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for
actually doing mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the
various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students’
understanding and capacity.
Design a comprehensive statistical report based on the data analysis of the
survey result of the following:
Education: Students’ test scores
HM: Employment rate of HM graduates
IT: Survey on the common computer related problems and causes among users
Perform the Fundamental of Arithmetic Operations

Take note of these statements as we go along with our lesson.

EXPLORE
Mathematics is rich in statements but these are not common statements you encounter every day.
These statements differ from the ones in communication. Some are best confirmed by arguments and experiments.
Mathematical statement is a sentence which is either true or false. For example, “The square root of 6 is 3” is a
mathematical statement (which is of course, false). Communication in mathematics requires precision than any other
subjects. Sometimes language in math is slightly different from the way we communicate every day.

MATHEMATICAL LOGIC
Logic is the systematic study of valid rules, proofs, thinking, or inference. Logic allows us to analyze if the
statement or proposition is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both.
Examples in engage lesson, you were asked to identify if the statements are true or false.
1. 2 is an odd number (true)
2. 2+1 is equal to 4 (false)
3. 2x+1 is equal to 5 (cannot be determined)
The last example is not a proposition because the answer is not determined.
Truth values: T for true; The truth value of a proposition is true.
F for false; The truth value of a proposition is false.
