NSMen Meet-And-Greet and Early Matriculation

Dear Students

I am very excited to invite you to attend the NSMen Meet-and-Greet Session on Saturday 21 October, 2017.

 

On that day, you will be the first to learn and get a sneak preview of the new enrichment course that we will be launching in January 2018: Applied Calculus for Economics.

 

We hear your concerns (and your parents’ too) and we know that your transition to University will be smooth if, prior to joining us, you have the opportunity to have a guided review of the key concepts and tools learnt two years ago.

 

Applied Calculus for Economics is the answer. In this course, you will deepen the fundamental concepts of Calculus, explore their relevance and applicability to Economics while getting acquainted with the University learning style.

 

Seats are limited: don’t miss the opportunity to discover the benefits from taking this new course, where online lessons and activities blend with few sessions at SMU.

 

Begin your academic journey with us. Looking forward to seeing all of you!

1. The online course along with some Saturday sessions allow NSMen to set their own pace for learning. It is important to refresh key mathematical concepts before entering SMU. This module will give prospective students a clearer view of the type and variety of math topics that are useful in their university life.

 

2. In hindsight, if I had the opportunity to be exposed to this course, it would have been advantageous as it would reduce the workload in Year 1.

 

3. I have faith in the teaching capabilities of Professor Landi. His wide range of teaching methods, attention to detail, and passion for his work is unprecedented. Additionally, his ability to link textbook concepts to real life examples helps engage me to another level. Professor Landi will be able to prepare the students for the future rigors of economics.

 

 

1. Calculus is important in economics. This course would help create the link between mathematics and economics. 

 

2. For students with no economics background, such as poly students with diploma in fields such as engineering or JC students who did not take economics, this course could serve as a little introduction as the material does showcase some aspects of economics. 

 

3. This course will strengthen your math background by exposing and reviewing key concepts such as derivatives, the exponential and the logarithmic functions.

 

4. This is a good chance to refresh your mathematics before starting university as it provides necessary foundation to proceed to more complex economics courses.
