    Foundation Mathematics II

    Spring, 2023

    1. Course Description
    The CPS Foundations Mathematics course is designed to provide students with the background
    necessary for the undergraduate mathematics program at NU. In addition, students are introduced
    to some topics they will see in their undergraduate courses, greatly increasing their chances of
    success. Such courses include, but are not limited to, Quantitative Methods in Political Science and
    in Sociology, Applied Statistical Methods in the School of Sciences and Humanities, and
    Engineering Mathematics, Applied Probability and Statistics in the School of Engineering and
    Digital Sciences.
    This course begins with the study of combinatorics and probability. From here, students will
    continue their study of statistical analysis, learning a collection of discrete and continuous random
    variables and their distributions. The Normal Distribution is studied at length, including its
    approximations of other distributions. The second half of the semester consists of in-depth studies
    of trigonometry and matrices. Trigonometry is followed up with a look at complex numbers, and
    how our knowledge of trigonometry can help us solve complex equations.
    Students are expected to complete their assignments on time, maintain an exemplary attendance
    record, and proactively seek support from CPS faculty throughout the course.

    2. Course Learning Outcomes


    • Solve probability problems using appropriate probability concepts and distributions
    • Perform statistical analyses on presented distributions
    • Recognize, manipulate, and transform graphs of trigonometric functions, and solve
    trigonometric equations
    • Perform operations involving complex numbers
    • Use various matrix manipulation techniques to solve systems of linear equations
    • Solve application problems by applying relevant mathematical skills and strategies
    • Express clearly and support the mathematical concepts presented in individual projects
    • Express in English an array of mathematical ideas and concepts using course vocabulary

    3. Course Format
    ● Lectures (Monday and Wednesday)
    Your instructor will give lectures on each topic. Attendance is mandatory.
    Lecture presentations will become available a week in advance.

    ● Seminars (Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday)


    In seminars, you work on more exercises with your instructor. Each seminar worksheet and the
    answers will become available a week prior, and the complete solutions at 6 pm on the day of
    the seminar.
    Friday’s seminar is a review seminar that covers all topics of the week. The review worksheet
    and solutions will be available at 6 pm every Friday.

    ● Office hours/Consultations
    You can ask any course-related questions during office hours. You can visit any instructor’s
    office hours without an appointment. See the Office Hours and Personal Consultation section
    on Moodle.
    If you need more intensive support, you can schedule a personal consultation in advance.
    Personal consultations are one-on-one meetings with the instructor. See the ALC Moodle page
    for details.

    4. Assessments
    This course weighs 50% of the progression grade.

    Lecture Quizzes 5 marks

    In-class Quizzes 5 marks

    Attendance 5 marks

    Project 7 marks

    Two exams 14 marks each

    Total 50 marks

    ● Lecture Quizzes
    Each quiz consists of five questions and checks your understanding of the corresponding
    lecture. It will be open on Moodle at 9 am on the day of the lecture and due at 9 am on the
    following day. In other words, you have a day to complete this quiz. You have 30 minutes
    to complete the quiz once you press the start button.

    If you are unable to complete a quiz, for example, due to technical or medical issues,
    contact your instructor or Dr. Joohee Hong before the deadline. Any requests after the
    deadline will not be accepted.

    ● In-class Quizzes
    There will be an in-class quiz every Friday. Each quiz consists of four questions that are
    closely related to the seminar worksheets of the week. These quizzes will be conducted on
    Moodle, so bring your laptop or tablet (with a stand).
    Don’t be late; these quizzes will be given at the beginning of review seminars, and you
    must take these quizzes in class.
    There will be eleven quizzes and the best eight scores will be counted for the grade. No
    makeup quizzes will be offered in any case.

    ● Attendance (Lectures and Seminars)


    Arrive on time for both lectures and seminars. If you miss more than 10 minutes, you will
    be considered absent.

    Number of absences Attendance mark

    0-1 5
