Program Details
Mathematics
The main emphasis of this course is on developing the ability of students to start with a problem in non-mathematical form and transform it into mathematical language. This will enable them to bring mathematical insights and skills in devising a solution, and then interpreting this solution in real-world terms. This is done by exploring problems using symbolic, graphical, numerical physical and verbal techniques in the context of finite or discrete real-world situations. Students also engage in mathematical thinking and modeling to examine and solve problems arising from a wide variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, economics, medicine, agriculture, marine science, law, transportation, engineering, banking, natural sciences, social sciences and computing.
The course incorporates the use of appropriate and relevant technology. The two units offered employ a stepwise logical approach using mathematical reasoning, principles and patterns to develop models, test conjectures and judge validity of arguments and conclusions. The mathematical concepts explored establish the importance of reasoning, counting, modeling and algorithmic thinking.
