This course introduces the real world of mathematics in health sciences, providing students a good knowledge of topics in calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics that are essential for the analysis of various systems in health sciences. This course focuses on practical applications—applying mathematics to real world actual problems in health sciences—it will provide only the essential theoretical bases for the students to carry out these practical tasks. New ideas and skills are introduced in lectures with emphases on the use of examples taken from health sciences.

CILO-1: Explain health sciences using mathematical and probabilistic reasoning. CILO-2: Identify linear systems and carry out basic matrix operations. CILO-3: Solve difference and differential equations. CILO-4: Discuss quantitative biology concepts using mathematical and probabilistic terminologies. CILO-5: Apply mathematical and probabilistic concepts and techniques to solve appropriate problems.
