The Fundamentals of Mathematics is a unit designed to provide students with a grounding in logical thinking and a problem solving skills. Knowledge attained in this field will also provide the basis for the Introduction to Programming, and also Algorithms and Data Structure units that are offered in Semester two. The content are meant to challenge students to develop basic critical thinking necessary in solving mathematical logic and single-variable functions.

The Fundamentals of Statistics unit is a core unit in statistics and probabilities. In this unit, learners will learn about data and its importance in organization and how it can be analysed and organized in the manner that it can be interpreted and represented in forms of graph and chats using respective software programs. Fundamentals of Statistics provide learners with the fundamental concepts of probabilities, random variables and their parameters and distributions. The concept of statistics is motivated by real problems that is interpreted and presented in a very well organized manner. The software programs R-Script, R-Studio and Microsoft excel will be of handy use in utilizing the mathematical functions of Calculus methods.
