Special Mathematics

Course Code: Special Mathematics 01

Course Title: Logic and Set Theory
Course Description:
This course demonstrates the development of mathematical thought through
basic logical structures and the concepts of classes and sets, functions, relations,
partially ordered classes, axiom of choice and transfinite numbers. It can also be a path
for the learners to explore what may be to them a different area of Finite Mathematics.
This course offers real life solving problems that will aid students in proving equivalence
of statements as well as the language of the Set Theory and Logic.

Course Code: Special Mathematics 02

Course Title: Trigonometry
Course Description:
This course will help the students develop their skills sufficiently to write and use
the definition of trigonometric functions and inverses; sketch the graph of the
trigonometric functions; prove identities; solve trigonometric equations; learn and then
apply the law of the sines and cosines; learn how to write a complex number in
trigonometric form and find all the roots of a complex number; learn polar coordinates
system and the graphs of some simple equations in polar; learn about conic sections
(rectangular & polar), vector (applications & operations), and the course will also
include exponential and logarithmic functions with applications and modeling.

Course Code: Special Mathematics 03

Course Title: Entrepreneurial Mathematics
Course Description:
This course is an application of entrepreneurial elements in mathematics such as
problem-solving related to money; buying and selling elements; and basic terms such
as profit, loss, dividends, and many more that can form the basis of a student's thinking
and behavior in the field of entrepreneurship. This aims to teach students behaviors,
ways of thinking, how to manage basic projects to plan a simple sales project, how to
produce products based on technological and vocational knowledge and skills, and how
to consider moral and ethical values in daily life. (Mahmud, Maat, Rosli, Sulaiman, and
Muhamed, 2022)
