Mathematics

The second of two courses for students preparing for College-level mathematics. This course provides an introduction to algebra. Topics include properties of real numbers, operations involving exponents and polynomials, rational expressions, basic linear equations and inequalities, factoring, literal equations, quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, applications, graphing equations and radical simplification. (Prerequisites: MAT 050 or High School Certificate Level B Pass in Mathematics or CXC Basic Mathematics grades I-III or CXC General Mathematics Grade IV or VI or GCE O Level Mathematics Grade D or E).

This course will cover the first half of MAT 110-College Algebra. Topics include the real number system, exponents, operations with algebraic expressions, radical expressions, factoring, solving linear, quadratic, rational, absolute-value equations and inequalities, solving systems of linear equations, radical equations, complex numbers and applied problems. (Prerequisites: MAT 051 or High School Certificate-Level A-Pass in Mathematics or CXC General Mathematics grade III or G.C.E. O-Level Mathematics grade C).

This course covers the second half of MAT 110 - College Algebra. It includes co-ordinate geometry; polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, with graphs and applications; variation; and use of the remainder and factor theorems. (Prerequisite: a pass of C or higher in MAT 108)

This course will cover the second half of MAT 110 College Algebra. It will include co-ordinate geometry, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, with graphs and applications. Variation, Remainder and Factor Theorems. (Prerequisite: MAT 108 minimum grade C).

This course is designed for mathematics, science, engineering and technology students. It covers fundamental concepts of trigonometry and is a preparation for calculus. Topics include linear and angular speed, trigonometric/circular functions, their inverses and graphs, trigonometric equations and identities, the solution of triangles, vectors and associated applications, De Moivre’s theorem and the theorem on nth roots for complex numbers, polar coordinates, polar equations, conic sections and solving non-linear systems of equations. (Prerequisite: a pass of C in MAT 109, MAT 110 or MAT 112)

This course introduces methods associated with obtaining data, organising data, calculating descriptive statistics and accurately interpreting them and using inferential measures to draw conclusions about populations. Sampling techniques, levels of measurement, measures of central tendency, measures of variation, measures of location and skewness, graphical techniques, correlation and regression, continuous and discrete probability distributions and estimation and hypothesis testing are some of the topics that are covered. The use of available technological functions in analysis and graphing are taught throughout the course, and completion of a group research project is mandatory. (Prerequisite: MAT 051 or High School Certificate grade 1 Level A-Pass in Mathematics or CXC General Mathematics grades I-III or GCE O’ Level Mathematics grade C).
