Principles of Mathematics

Course Description

This course is designed to provide students with primary and basic principles of mathematics such as (groups & periods, algebraic operations, base signal foundations, roots, logarithms, algebraic analysis, equations of first and second degree, sequences, matrices and determinants, mathematical & geometric sequences). Thus, students will be able to understand and solve economic problems.

Course Aims

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

•  Become familiar with the basic concepts and laws in mathematics.
•  Identify the relationship of applied mathematics studies and community service.
•  Apply mathematical principles, use the administrative and humanitarian disciplines and enhance a basic scientific background for those students who haven’t taught proper mathematics at their schools.
