1. The IUT pre-university mathematics curriculum offers its students chances to study mathematics more thoroughly and systematically, supplementing their high school class work.
2. The pre-university courses in mathematics are designed to help students to understand fundamental concepts and work out more challenging problems.
3. The IUT pre-university mathematics program offers three levels of curriculum depending on the students’ mathematical knowledge and problem-solving abilities.
Basic Level
– The basic level is designed for high school students with a working knowledge of about 1th or higher grade mathematics.
– In particular, students who register at this level should know in advance how to manipulate real numbers and polynomial expressions, draw graphs of linear, quadratic and trigonometric functions, understand geometry on Euclidean plane, solve quadratic equations, and prove mathematical statements from a given set of conditions, etc.
– The curriculum at this level provides the students with fundamental mathematical concepts including complex numbers, matrices, exponents, logarithms, sequence of numbers, and infinite series and basic techniques in calculus involving polynomial functions only
– The courses in the basic level will help students to progress to the intermediate or advanced level.

Intermediate
– The intermediate level is designed for high school students with a working knowledge of 2nd or higher grade mathematics.
– The courses in this level provide students more advanced topics in high school and prepare them to go on to the advanced level seamlessly.
– The intermediate level differs from the basic level in that it deals with trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic functions and utilize chain rule in calculus contents whereas the basic level only deals with polynomial functions.

Advanced
– The advanced level is designed to provide students with enough mathematical knowledge and maturity to study the IUT mathematics courses.
– In an early stage of the advanced level, the students will go over matrices which are also treated in the intermediate level but their relation with linear transformations are emphasized.
– Then, the program introduces single variable calculus involving more complicated functions than the previous levels.
– This level also provides vector treatment of space geometry. Note also that the language of instruction in the advanced level is English.
