Mathematical logic: This part involves propositional logic, predicate logic and propositional reasoning. Candidates need to understand and use the basic rules of logical operation, analyze the logical relationship between given propositions and draw correct conclusions. This requires candidates to have strong logical thinking and reasoning ability. Candidates need to have strong mathematical thinking ability, logical thinking ability and problem solving ability.
Data analysis: This part mainly focuses on data collection, collation, analysis and interpretation. Candidates need to master the basic concepts and methods of statistics and understand the descriptive statistics, probability distribution and sampling theory of data. And can analyze the data according to the given data and draw correct conclusions and decisions. In a limited time, it is a great test for candidates to understand and analyze the questions quickly and give correct answers.
Operational decision: This part covers linear programming, integer programming, queuing theory and decision analysis. Candidates need to understand and apply these mathematical models and methods to solve practical problems. For example, optimize the allocation of resources and determine the optimal decision-making scheme. This requires candidates to have strong abstract thinking ability and problem-solving ability. The reason why this math part of the exam is difficult is that it requires candidates to master the basic concepts and methods of mathematics and to be able to apply mathematical knowledge to practical problems.
The importance of mathematics
Practical application: The practical application of mathematics in various fields exists widely. It is the foundation of science, engineering, technology and economy, and can help us solve problems in real life. For example, in construction, transportation planning, financial investment and other aspects, mathematical models and calculation methods can provide accurate data and decision support.
Logical thinking: Mathematics promotes the cultivation of logical thinking. By solving mathematical problems, we have learned the ability of analysis, reasoning and abstraction, and can distinguish between true and false and draw conclusions. This kind of logical thinking is very important in solving problems, making decisions and dealing with complex situations.
