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 2 emphasizes applications of counting techniques, probability, number theory, modular arithmetic, and networks and graphs in practical contexts such as decision-making, resource optimization, and communication systems. Learners will explore the structure and patterns of mathematical systems, use logic to analyze relationships and events, and apply combinatorial reasoning to real-world scenarios. Learners continue strengthening their quantitative literacy and data interpretation skills through these topics.
Note: (Finite Mathematics 1 and Finite Mathematics 2 have independent content, where Finite Mathematics 1 is not a prerequisite for Finite Mathematics 2).
