Mathematics and Statistics for ICT

Mathematics is the foundation of any computing discipline, including Information Communications Technology (ICT). Hence, it is essential for students to acquire a level of mathematical maturity to help them better understand the ICT modules in their studies.

This module will equip students with the core mathematical knowledge in two broad focus areas: discrete mathematics, and probability and statistics. For discrete mathematics, topics covered include basic logic, functions, relations and sets, graphs and trees, and sequences and series. For probability and statistics, topics include descriptive statistics, probability theory, probability distributions, sampling distributions, and inferential statistics.
