Synopsis

This course uses self-paced computer managed instruction methods and group problem solving techniques to encourage students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts that provide a foundation for the mathematics encountered in tertiary programs in science, engineering, surveying and business. Topics included are: basic algebra, functions and graphing, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, introductory matrix algebra, and introductory calculus. The self-paced structure and the flexibility of two alternative entry points into the course allow students to work at their own level thereby developing confidence in mathematics and general problem solving.
