The Preparatory Year Math Program (PMP) prime aspiration is to provide challenging academic programs designed to prepare and reinforce the newly admitted student's knowledge of mathematical and analytical skills through the medium of English, for success in advanced studies leading to careers in science, engineering, technology, environmental, or management studies at the University.
The program consists of three main pre-Calculus courses. The first course is Math001 (College Algebra and Trigonometry I), contains the standard topics of college Algebra, whereas the second course, Math002 (College Algebra and Trigonometry II), contains trigonometry and extended topics in college Algebra. The third course is Math012 (College Algebra and Trigonometry III) is a combination of Math001 and Math002 for the first stage of promoted students. There is also a modular course, PYP041 (Matlab), all meticulously designed to fulfill the basic needs of all future courses. Students develop their interest and eagerness about the subject by learning different mathematical techniques and skills. Various exercises and practices are used to make students fluent in fundamental mathematical concepts that improve their capabilities of reasoning and analysis thus enabling them to solve complex real-life science and engineering problems. It is ensured that students acquire vital skills and knowledge required to progress successfully in any discipline of their choice.
In addition to traditional teaching techniques, its experienced faculty members have adopted a variety of educational innovations in teaching mathematics using the latest educational authoring tools. These include Jigsaw classrooms, flipped classrooms, collaborative classrooms, Team-Based Learning (TBL), and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), among others. To further enhance the student’s interest, different mathematics competitions are organized in conjunction with the Student’s success center.
