DCT1043
  • FOUNDATION OF MATHEMATICS

2
Synopsis
  • This course introduces and discusses the
    fundamental of mathematics focusing on providing
    a solid theoretical foundation for further work.
    Student are exposed to set theory, system number,
    equations, inequalities and absolute value,
    polynomials, matrices, system of equations and
    inequalities, functions and graphs and conic
    sections. This course integrates symbolic tools,
    graphical concepts, and numerical calculations.

3
Learning Objectives
  • Upon the completion of this course, students will
    have the ability to
  • Define the basic techniques and methodologies of
    mathematics.
  • Solve any related mathematical problem covered in
    this course
  • Apply the concepts and methods studied into other
    related courses.

4
Generic Skills
  • At the end of the course, the students should
    have acquired the various generic skills targeted
    as below
  • Team-working Student able to work in group to
    complete the given assessment in a time given.
  • Communication skills Student able to communicate
    effectively in written and oral form through
    group discussion (assignment), tutorial and
    presentation session.
  • Problem solving Implement the appropriate skills
    into problem solving process.
