Mathematics

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 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).
