    Course Title: Exploring Quantitative Skills

    Credit Hours: 3 (3, 0)

    Course Objectives:
    This course aims to develop the basic mathematical skills which ultimately enhance problem-
    solving skills using inductive and deductive reasoning, Polya's strategy, and sets. The basic concepts
    will be develop with applications form the real world such as algebraic models with equations,
    rates, ratios, and percentages will be discussed. Students will also explore linear models, including
    rectangular coordinates, functions, empowering them to analyze real-world problems with logical
    precision. By the course's end, students will have honed problem-solving, logical reasoning, and
    mathematical modeling abilities to tackle diverse challenges confidently.

    Course Contents:
    Numeracy and Arithmetic:
    Introduction to number systems, square roots, cube roots, highest common factors, lowest common
    multiples, visualizing fractions, decimals, systems of measurements, an overview of contributions
    of mathematicians, unit analysis as a problem-solving tool.

    Problem Solving using Sets:


    Inductive and deductive reasoning, Problem Solving strategies including Pólya’s Problem-Solving
    Strategy and Problem solving using sets.

    Functions:
    Introduction to functions, rates of change, composition of functions, transformation of functions,
    absolute value function, inverse function, linear functions, polynomial functions, rational functions
    and applications related to functions.

    Algebraic Models:
    Linear equations, quadratic equations and their applications in social and
    economic problems.

    Simple and Compound Interest:


    Percentage, profit, loss, discount, taxation, and other scenarios involving percentage, simple and
    compound interest with applications.
