MATH 151 and its co-requisite MATH 161 are designed to assist students (those who have recently completed the CXC secondary Mathematics or equivalent as well as those mature students who may not have passed secondary Mathematics) in making the transition to the tertiary level mathematics that is required for the study of engineering disciplines. In MATH 151 initial emphasis is placed on foundation arithmetic and trigonometry and this culminates with the theory of complex numbers. Students are given further insight into the use of scientific electronic calculators where applicable.
