COURSE DESCRIPTION:
General Mathematics is a course that provides the student on how to solve problems and the
opportunity to develop an understanding of and competence in further aspects of Mathematics
through a large variety of real – world application involving rational, exponential and
logarithmic function; and to solve business – related problems; and apply logic to real – life
situation. This course also provides the student to find solution for the broad range of problem
encountered in life.
