My name is Dr. Abdulhakeem Yusuf, from the Department of Industrial Mathematics, and I will be your lecturer for MTH 113: Coordinate Geometry and Vectors. This course is a foundational mathematics course designed to equip you with essential geometric and algebraic tools that are widely used in science, engineering, technology, and applied mathematics.
In this course, you will study the coordinate representation of points, straight lines, circles, and planes, as well as the algebra and geometry of vectors in two and three dimensions. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how geometric ideas can be expressed analytically using equations and vectors, and how these concepts are applied to solve real-world problems. You will also learn how vectors are used to describe physical quantities such as displacement, velocity, and force, which makes this course particularly important for students in scientific and engineering disciplines.
MTH 113 is structured to develop your logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and mathematical confidence. While the course builds on knowledge from secondary school mathematics, it also introduces new ways of thinking that are essential for higher-level university courses. Active participation, regular practice, and consistent study will be key to your success.
I encourage you to approach this course with curiosity and commitment, as the concepts you will learn here form an important part of your academic and professional development.
