About this Program

The need for higher mathematics skills is recognised as a gap that needs to be addressed, irrespective of our age or industry.

Mathematics is often overlooked because we find it difficult, do not understand or simply do not know about possible mathematics solutions. It is aimed at technical and financial mathematics from about Year 10 to entry into more advanced courses. To some it will be refresher education to others it will be new material.

We need to be as fluent in mathematics as part of our native language. We need to apply our learning of mathematics as we would to learning language or music. This is a situated course because it applies to your needs. If you work in a robot environment, the mathematics of robots can be included.
