Compare the development of various number systems 2. Generate one set of numbers to another set of numbers 3. Characterize natural, rational, irrational and real numbers 4. Perform fundamental operations on the various sets of numbers

5. Extend knowledge in number concepts through number recreation

activities

6. Determine the modulus, argument and conjugate of a complex

number 7. Convert complex number from coordinate form to polar form and vice versa 8. Apply number concepts in problem solving activities Synopsis In this course students are exposed to the various numeration systems and also the elementary number theory. In addition, there is a further exploration into natural, rational, irrational and real numbers. The characteristics and theorems related to these sets of numbers will also be highlighted. Appreciation of Fibonacci Numbers and Golden Ratio in nature is emphasized. In the process, students will apply their knowledge of numbers in number recreations and problem solving. Kursus ini akan memberi pendedahan kepada pelajar tentang sistem nombor dan asas teori nombor. Pelajar juga akan menerokai dengan lebih mendalam tentang ciri dan teorem yang berkaitan dengan nombor asli, nombor nisbah dan nombor bukan nisbah serta nombor nyata. Perkaitan antara Nombor Fibonacci dengan Golden Ratio dan alam semula jadi juga akan dibincangkan dan akan diaplikasikan dalam rekreasi nombor dan penyelesaian masalah .
