It is important that students understand the fundamentals of mathematics in computing so that they can apply their mathematical knowledge when writing algorithms and producing websites.
Learners taking the Mathematics for IT 1 will gain an understanding of the geometric and trigonometric properties of shapes.
Learners will perform calculations using vectors and convert between decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers.
Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.
The aim of this module is to enable the learner to develop and foster their creativity and problem solving skills using mathematics. Learners will apply the fundamental practices and concepts of computer science and develop an appreciation of the diverse role of computing technology in society and the environment in which we live.
This module will ensure learners meet the following objectives:
