Overview

About the program

Topics studied in the Geography program of Rhodes University are basic mathematics of daily life, numbers, operations on algebraic expressions, linear and quadratic equations, linear and quadratic functions, polynomials, trigonometry, absolute value (modulus), exponents, exponential and logaritmic functions, sequences and series.

The Mathematics department consists of 9 fulltime academic staff members and one support staff member. These caring, committed and dedicated staff members are a key asset to the department. They take a personal interest in the development and success of every student. The greatest advantage of a small department in a small university is that staff members are able to give individual attention to students. In our department every student is a person with a name and a face; not just a number!
