This subject is designed to provide students with basic mathematical knowledge and skills at the secondary level. The subject is designed for students with a very basic level of secondary mathematics. They will gain knowledge and skills in basic arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, analytical geometry, and coordinate geometry.
Learning Outcomes
- understand the fundamental of algebra, including factorisation, substitution and transposition of both linear and non-linear equations;
- understand the basic ratios, rates, and variation;
- understand basic geometry, functions and graphs, linear relations and functions, basic curve sketching and polar coordinates;
- understand basic trigonometry;
- apply the concept learnt to solve practical problems, including the use of electronics spreadsheet.
