There is a need for introductory studies to prepare students for the demands of both higher education and the professional workplace. Competent numeracy, literacy and e-literacy skills are all required, as is an ability to effectively manage the complex life/work balance. Consequently, students entering higher education require an opportunity to practise, refine, and master essential mathematical skills as prerequisites for successful study and subsequent professional workplace tasks and responsibilities. This course will provide students with basic mathematical competencies for higher education studies and professional workplaces. Central to this course is the concept that students should be able to take control and manage their own learning associated with mathematical skills and knowledge, and develop problem solving strategies that will enable them to adjust to the rapidity of change within the 21st century as it applies to university study and the professional workplace.

Using concepts of self-paced instruction the course will guide students through a carefully sequenced series of topics which will provide the foundation for the mathematics that will be encountered in higher education studies especially in creative arts and the humanities. It will provide essential basic competency in the mathematics used in modern professional workplaces. This course allows students to develop confidence with mathematics and general problem solving and study skills. Embedded within the course content will be the theme of student self-regulation of studying and learning. This will incorporate ideas, concepts and theories including academic self-efficacy, reflective practice and resilience.

On successful completion of this course students should have:

1. Demonstrated an understanding of several mathematical topics essential for tertiary study detailed below
2. Demonstrated the skills necessary to extend mathematical knowledge beyond everyday life and into further studies
3. Demonstrated the skills necessary to interpret and solve a range of problems involving mathematical concepts
4. Demonstrated the skills necessary to effectively communicate solutions to a range of problems
5. Effectively participated, and communicated mathematical knowledge and concepts, in a culturally diverse environment
