B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes
1. Course Description:
The course will focus on elementary concepts of mathematics before a student undertakes advanced study in
mathematics. Topics include algebra of the real numbers, algebraic, absolute value in equations and inequalities,
complex numbers and elementary functions with an emphasis on their graphical properties and algebraic
manipulations. Particular functions treated include linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential,
logarithmic functions and trigonometric functions.
The students will also have an idea on right triangles, trigonometric identities, sequences, mathematical
Induction, binomial formula and elementary geometry, such as circles and triangles.
2. Course Main Objective:
The main goal of this course is to familiarize the students with the graphs, properties, and algebraic
manipulations of elementary functions. They will be also able to use the basic concepts of mathematics,
especially the basic algebraic operations, trigonometry, complex numbers sequences, mathematical induction and
binomial formula and recognize the coordinates systems and their use in simple geometric cases.
