Mathematics and Statistics
Description
This module covers the development of mathematics and statistics skills.
Mathematics: This involves developing and demonstrating competence in arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and basic calculus
Statistics : This includes the evaluation of the basic descriptive statistics, using the probability laws and the Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions to evaluate probabilities
Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate mastery of basic arithmetic & algebra: evaluate numerical expressions; simplify & manipulate expressions & formulae; solve systems of equations
Calculate trigonometric ratios and solve related problems
Perform basic calculus: apply rules of differentiation & integration to compute derivatives and integrals
Describe and summarise sample data using descriptive statistics: calculating measures of centrality & dispersion
Calculate probabilities for discrete & continuous distributions
