MATH1200: Power of Number B
This unit provides an introductory level of mathematics for students in the initial phase of a tertiary level program. This unit develops basic trigonometry and the associated trigonometric functions, and provides an introduction to single and bivariate statistics, elementary probability theory, and the binomial and normal distributions. The various uses of mathematics by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples for community agency, cultural knowledge management and practice, business enterprise, creative industries and research are incorporated in this unit, along with an emphasis on the roles of narrative and discovery. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lecturers and speakers will be involved in the delivery of this unit and culture-centred, case studies will feature throughout to demonstrate linkages between learning and future practice.
