Pre-Requisite

MATH 001

 

Textbook

College Algebra & Trigonometry by Aufmann /Barker/Nation, 6th Edition, Houghton Mifflin, (2008)

 

Objectives

The students are expected to develop the comprehension of the course material in English, improve their computational skills and demonstrate writing ability of solutions with logical steps. An emphasis will be given to the understanding of the statement of problem and the mathematical terminology. The medium of instruction will be strictly English from the first day of classes.  The course primarily aims at the development of critical thinking among the students through the mathematical concepts studied at the High School level. Word problems will be an important part of the course. MATH 001 will be regarded as a base of this course.
