Mathematics

          Mathematics,a module which enabled us to master the application skills of fundamental mathematical  principles such as basic algebra, trigonometry, properties of circles, area, volume, differentiation, integration and statistics.It did involve in problem solving of our daily lives,no matter was a simple or a hard one.Throughout this module,besides sitting for tests,there were actually two assignments were given to us as a part of completion of this module.It has been a much more easy-going subject for me compared to the other subjects taken in this semester as  I was a person who like calculation.
          For Assignment One,we were assigned to choose nine objects which could be found in our daily life and calculate the total surface areas and volume of them based on the range which were given.The objectives of this assignment were to improve one's familiarization with the geometry of plane and 3-D shapes as well as extend our understanding towards mathematical concepts and the application if it.On the other hand,the learning outcome of this assignment intended to make us understand and able to apply the area and volume principles.By completing this assignment,I was more familiar with how to solve problems which involved area and volume by applying the appropriate method.At the same time,my measuring skills was improved,too.
          While Assignment Two involved our skill in handling statistical data.All of us were required to form into a group of five,thus propose our statistical study,design a surveying form and complete hundred of them,organize the data collected and finally draw a conclusion for it.This assignment aimed to enable us to apply the knowledge gained to analyze statistical data and present it in an appropriate way.Throughout this assignment,we were supposed to apply the fundamental mathematical principles to get the mode,median,mean,variance and standard deviation.And also,a new programme-Microsoft Excel was introduced to us to present our charts.Hence,many additional knowledge was obtained through this assignment.In other words,all the learning outcomes of this assignment were greatly achieved by me.
         Mathematics was an interesting yet challenging module.It needed us to think more and have more practices.Without any practices,one's Mathematics could not be improved.As a conclusive point to this,everything that we learned through this module were useful,and I am sure that no matter where we are or what we further in the future,it will still be applicable in our daily life.
