This unit provides an introductory level of mathematics for students in the initial phase of a tertiary level program. Beginning with the number system, this unit develops understanding of basic algebra and equations, and gives an introduction to functions including the quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions. The various uses of mathematics by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples for community agency, cultural knowledge management and practice, business enterprise, creative industries and research are incorporated in this unit, along with an emphasis on the roles of narrative and discovery. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lecturers and speakers will be involved in the delivery of this unit and culture-centred, case studies will feature throughout to demonstrate linkages between learning and future practice.
