1.0 BASIC ALGEBRA

This topic introduces basic algebraic concept and its
use in solving linear and quadratic equations. This
topic also discusses about fraction including partial
fraction.
2.0 TRIGONOMETRY
This topic explains the fundamental concept of
trigonometric
functions
particularly
the
six
trigonometric ratios of special angles and simple
trigonometric basic identities. The topic also explains
about trigonometric identities, sine and cosine rules.
Skills using trigonometric identities, sine and cosine
rules to solve simple trigonometric equations are
discussed.
3.0 COMPLEX NUMBER
This topic discusses the difference between real
numbers and imaginary numbers. Basic operation on
complex numbers is also explained. This topic also
shows the representation of complex numbers in the
form of Argands diagrams, polar and exponential.
Basic operation in polar form is also discussed.
4.0 MATRICES
This topic introduces the type and characteristics of
matrices up to 3x3 matrix. This topic also explains the
operation involving matrices such as addition,
subtraction and multiplication of matrices. The inverse
matrix method and Cramers Rule is also explain to
solve simultaneous equation up to three variable.
5.0 VECTOR AND SCALAR
This topic explains the basic operations of vector and
scalar quantities including their use in solving
problems. This topic also explains the method for
determining angle between two vectors as well as the
characteristics of triple vector and scalar products.
