Courses available through the Numeracy Centre
A variety of courses are run at the beginning of each semester to help students prepare for their studies. The cost of these courses varies depending on the length of the course. The books that we use for our bridging courses are available to purchase. You can purchase the books by dropping into the centre any day of the week during semester or completing the order form. Alternatively you can download them yourselves for free by following this link.
To enrol in the one day courses and for details about dates and times, please check the notice board outside the Numeracy Centre in C5A225 during the first week of the semester. Our bridging course brochure lists the dates and times of all of our preparatory courses for the coming semester. To enrol in the Preparatory Mathematics course, the Mathematics Introductory Course or the Refresher Courses in Statistics you will need to acquire an enrolmentform. For further information, contact Carolyn Kennett on 9850 8924. In fact, why not send her an email at carolyn@maths.mq.edu.au
Review Sessions
Bridging Courses
Stream A is for students who need an introduction to, or review of, algebra and function concepts. It is designed for students who have not studied mathematics for some time, or for students who have completed 2-unit Mathematics in Society or General Mathematics in recent years. We recommend this course for students who intend to include mathematics units such as MATH123, MATH130 or economics units at 100 level in their programs of study. The text used in this course consists primarily of MUMS Modules 2 and 3 which can be viewed on the Text for Bridging Courses page.
Stream B is for students who have not studied mathematics for some time and need to refresh their skills before commencing MATH135. It is also recommended as a bridge to 3-unit Mathematics for students who completed 2-unit Mathematics, especially if they expect to be borderline on entry prerequisites into MATH135. The text used in this course consists primarily of MUMS Modules 3 and 4 which can be viewed on the Text for Bridging Courses page.
The course is available in two streams as either a day or evening course in February each year. The fee for this 30 hour course is approximately $150. The bridging course brochure lists the dates and times that this course is run and to enrol you will need to fill out an enrolment form. For further information and enrolment enquiries, please contact Carolyn Kennett or Dilshara Hill on 9850 8924.
This course covers foundational mathematics and provides an introduction to, or review of, algebra and function concepts. It is designed for students who need to enrol in the first year Mathematics courses MATH123 or MATH130. It also covers mathematical concepts that would be useful as a preparation for statistics, chemistry and biology units.
The text used in this course consists primarily of MUMS Modules 1 and 2 which can be viewed on the Text for Bridging Courses page. The course is run as 7 three hour sessions spread over 5 days and the number of sessions you attend depends on the level of mathematics that you want to attain. The fee for each 3 hour session is $15 or $100 if you want to do all 7 sessions. We recommend that maths students do all 7 sessions, and other students do up to 5 sessions. To enrol you will need to fill out an enrolment form.
