In our country, the Science-related sector seems to be one of the most endangered as research has continually shown that skills are scarce in this field. As much as students find Mathematics challenging, they continue to try harder and push themselves to learning as much as they can. Foundation Math, a bridging course offered by UKZN Extended Learning, is facilitated by Dr Maga Moodley and Mr Shunmugam Pillay who are both academics at the University of KwaZulu Natal.
For a full 2 week period the course covered: Set theory; Equations and inequalities; Perimeter, area and volume; Linear, quadratic, semi-circles, rectangular hyperbola and piecewise functions; Absolute values, circular (trigonometry), exponential and logarithmic; as well as Introduction to differential calculus and word problems.
One of the delegates, Aidan Harmse, described his experience on the course as enjoyable, insightful and knowledgeable. Aidan matriculated from Northwood Boys High School in 2016 and has applied at a few Higher Education Institutions where he will be pursuing his career in Architecture.
