Description
Quantitative methods are used in many areas of science and business.
Using an exploratory and investigative approach, the course MATH1001 introduces and develops those areas of arithmetic, basic algebra and elementary coordinate geometry necessary for an understanding and use of basic quantitative methods.
This course is suitable for those students who have not studied, or who have not succeeded in, mathematics courses at the HSC level.
Students cannot count MATH1001 for credit if they have previously passed MATH1002, MATH1100, MATH1110 or MATH1210.
