Basic Applied Mathematics form 6

This is a second volume for the Basic Applied Mathematics course for Advanced Level Secondary Schools. It is aimed at the Form Six Students not pursuing advanced mathematics. The last five chapters for the Basic Applied Mathematics covers: probability, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, matrices and linear programming. This Book seeks
to demonstrate real life application of the mathematical theories for example: application of probability in research, business planning and gaming; application of trigonometry in measuring difficult distances and music; application of exponential and logarithmic functions in compound interest problems, population growth and rate of loss of temperature of bodies; use of matrices in solving systems of linear equations and optimization of use of scarce resources through use of linear programming.
The Book applies the competence based approach that seeks to actively engage the student during the teaching and learning process. Accordingly, the book was carefully prepared to carry along students in steps ensuring that both the fast and slow learners follow the subject. The concepts are defined and examples worked out to demystify each stage of the learning process. Further, there are different kinds of exercises aiming at making the learning process exciting and interesting. At the end of the book, answers for all even numbered questions are included to allow revision process and self-testing.
We believe the skills garnered through this book will continue to support your learning process at colleges and university and thus throughout your career.
