This document outlines the course outline for a Fundamental Concepts and Applications of Mathematics course at the University of the Philippines Manila. The course is divided into 7 chapters covering topics in number systems, set theory and logic, algebraic structures, geometry, calculus, statistics, and computer literacy. There will be departmental examinations after chapters 2, 4, and 6. The course is worth 3 credits and meets for 3 hours per week. It uses lecture notes from UP Diliman as the textbook.
