Introduction
We cannot understand the world that surrounds us without good mathematical skills.
The main purpose of this module is to ensure that we know and appreciate this science as a tool necessary for daily life, and for the transformation of society.
In essence, to study mathematics is to learn to reason and become accustomed to being conscious of this reasoning.
A good mathematical background is essential for adapting to life in today’s world. The concepts of number, ratio and proportion, and the language and symbols of mathematics, are part of the standard intellectual knowledge of any modern man or woman.
