Finite Mathematics 1 (Academic)



Course Description:

Finite Mathematics focuses on developing learners’ understanding and appreciation of mathematical concepts and their practical applications in various fields, including business, economics, and the social sciences. It emphasizes problem-solving as well as analytical and critical thinking. Learners will enhance their reasoning and decision-making skills by applying mathematical methods to real-world problems, interpreting data, and formulating solutions. Additionally, they will develop proficiency in using mathematical tools and techniques, preparing them for further studies and diverse career pathways that do not require higher-level mathematics.

Finite Mathematics 1 explores topics such as geometric designs, patterns in nature and art, matrices, and linear programming. Learners will apply mathematical methods to model and solve practical problems, interpret data, and explore the structural beauty of mathematics in both natural and human-designed contexts. Learners develop proficiency in using mathematical tools and techniques by integrating visual and analytical reasoning.

Note: (Finite Mathematics 1 and Finite Mathematics 2 have independent content, where Finite Mathematics 1 is not a prerequisite for Finite Mathematics 2).

Elective: Academic

Prerequisite: None

Time Allotment: 80 hours for one semester, 4 hours per week

Graduation Symbols: The Toga, The Hood, The Cap and The Diploma

A graduation ceremony is a very important event that any dedicated student looks forward to. It is the culmination of the minimum twelve years spent in studying and training to prepare oneself for the challenges of the world beyond the walls of an educational institution. It is one of the rites of passage that students are eager to cross, officially leaving their status as minors and setting out into the real world as adults. The traditional graduation attire is composed of a toga or gown, a hood and a cap. The diploma, which best completes and makes official the graduate status of a student, is awarded to each graduate later in the ceremony. Each of these articles symbolizes an important meaning surrounding the educational success of a graduate. The Toga Each educational institution usually has its own design and variation of the graduation toga, although all of them are basically similar. High school and college togas are long and reach just below the knee; high school togas are oft...

Ballad of A Mother's Heart by Jose La Villa Tierra

The night was dark, for the moon was young And the stars were asleep and rare; The clouds were thick, yet Youth went out To see his Maiden fair.

Still in his hand he held the prize That would win his Maiden's hand; And he thought of his mother dear So kind, so swe...

The Sea by Natividad Marquez

Why does the sea laugh, Mother, As it glints beneath the sun? It is thinking of the joys, my child, That it wishes every one. Why does the sea sob so, Mother, As it breaks on the rocky shore? It recalls the sorrows of the world. And weeps forevermore. Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother, As if it were fast asleep? It would give our tired hearts, dearest child, The comfort of the deep.
