Mathematics 1A/1B (MA31101/31103)

• Course Description: This course explores set theory, including finite/infinite sets, subsets, set operations, and Venn diagrams. It also covers properties of relations, such as Cartesian product, domain, range, inverses, and graphical representations. The second half of the semester focuses on symbolic logic, including logical operators, truth tables, equivalence, tautology/contradiction, open sentences with quantifiers, and validity of reasoning.
• Goals/Expected Learning Outcomes:
• Apply concepts to real-world problems.
• Understand properties of the real number system.
• Perform set operations and interpret Venn diagrams.
• Perform Cartesian products, find inverse, domain, and range of relations.
