COURSE OVERVIEW (Ref: Syllabus Publication)

Mathematics promotes intellectual development, is utilitarian and applicable to all disciplines. Additionally, its aesthetics and epistemological approaches provide solutions fit for any purpose. Therefore, Mathematics is the essential tool to empower people with the knowledge, competencies and attitudes which are precursors for this dynamic world.

This course, Integrated Mathematics, is designed for all students pursuing CXC associate degree program, with special emphasis to those who do not benefit from the existing intermediate courses that cater primarily for mathematics career options. 

The course will provide students with the knowledge and skills sets required to model practical situations and provide workable solutions in their respective field of study. These skills include critical and creative thinking, problem solving, logical reasoning, modeling ability, team work, decision making, research techniques, information communication and technological competencies for life-long learning. 

Such holistic development becomes useful for the transition into industry as well as research and further studies required at tertiary levels. 

Moreover, the attitude and discipline which accompany the study of Mathematics also nurture desirable character qualities.
