| dc.description | At the end of this course the learner should have attained the following goals:
1) Apply the mathematical concepts learnt in problem-solving and logical skills.
2) Become familiar with basic knowledge in key concepts discussed in mathematics for science.
3) Use the knowledge and skills in solving applied real-life problems.
The following are the course's objectives/Intended learning outcomes;
i) Convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates and vice versa.
ii) Solve problems involving conic sections.
iii) Decompose rational functions into partial fractions for Cases I to IV.
iv) Derive and apply trigonometrical, identities, rules, and formula. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Mathematics for science lays a foundation for mathematical concepts for science and engineering courses. This course is designed to equip science, engineering, and mathematics students with pre-calculus knowledge and skills necessary for pursuing other mathematical courses such as calculus, discrete mathematics, linear algebra among others. The course exposes the students to the concept of conic sections, polar coordinates and their graphs, decomposition of rational functions focusing on the four basic cases. The course will introduce trigonometrical rules for solving triangles, deriving, and verifying trigonometrical identities and formula. The course will cover permutation and combinations and extend the concept to permutation functions. | en_US |
