Applied Mathematics
About Course
Students interested in pursuing higher education in Business, Education, Linguistics, Social Sciences, or Arts are eligible for this course. A prerequisite is successful completion of Basic Mathematics.
A student who satisfactorily complete the course should be able to:
(a) Solve two variables linear equations and inequalities and sketch their graph
(b) Interpret a series of three simultaneous inequalities of two variables, display them graphically and determine the solution set.
(c) Demonstrate an understanding of the definition of a function and its graph.
(d) Solve quadratic, exponential, logarithmic equations, and inequalities.
(e) Solve simple real life problems involving linear, quadratic, and exponential functions graphically and algebraically.
(f) Determine the zeros and the maximum or minimum of a quadratic function, and solve related problems, including those arising from real world applications.
(g) Sketch the graphs of a quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
(h) Compare simple and compound interest and relate compound interest to exponential growth.
(i) Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve related problems.
(j) Understand basic concepts of descriptive statistics, mean, median, mode and summarize data into tables and simple graphs (bar charts, histogram, and pie chart).
(k) Understand basic probability concepts and compute the probability of simple events using tree diagrams and formulas for permutations and combinations.
