CHAPTER 1
The problem and its background
Introduction
“The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.” – S. Gudder. This quotation shows how Mathematics makes things simple. We all know that Mathematics is not an easy subject especially to the students who are taking engineering courses. All the students are having difficulties in the subject of Mathematics and that’s why FEU-East Asia College comes up with an idea to have MRC which means Math Resource Center. “Listen too many, speak to a few.” – William Shakespeare. This quotation of William Shakespeare tells us to be open to what other people will say and we should voice out our thoughts but not all the time, there is a limitation. In English we need to study how to speak the language order for us to communicate in other country and we should know what to say and what not to say. Many students are having difficulties in speaking the English language and to enhance their vocabularies. FEU-East Asia College built another center; the ERC which means English Resource Center.
Background of the study
In this world, there were two important subjects that a person or students must study for. And that is English and Mathematics. A person who is good in English subjects usually took a degree in Mass Communication, Foreign Service and even a Law course. Were ask when you are excel in Mathematics definitely we take up an Accounting, Major in Mathematics and even in Engineering course but very few are both good in both subjects if so, this people are those who are called God gifted.
