Finite Mathematics 1 Curriculum Guide

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).
