School of Information Technology and Mathematical Sciences
To develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving principles through an experiential approach centred on mathematical puzzles and activities.
Students will focus on learning and applying strategies for mathematical problem solving, with emphasis on formulating the problem; conjecturing, establishing and justifying a solution; and checking and extending results. Students will use techniques of mathematical communication, in both oral and written forms, to present their problem-solving approaches. Puzzles and activities will be drawn from selected areas of discrete mathematics.
