GENERAL OBJECTIVES

JAMB Syllabus for Mathematics
The aim of this 2019 JAMB Mathematics Syllabus for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), is to
prepare the candidates for the Board’s examination. It is designed to test the achievement of the course objectives,
which are to:
(1) acquire computational and manipulative skills;
(2) develop precise, logical and formal reasoning skills;
(3) develop deductive skills in interpretation of graphs, diagrams and data;
(4) apply mathematical concepts to resolve issues in daily living.

 

This syllabus is divided into five sections:

I. Number and Numeration.
II. Algebra
III. Geometry/Trigonometry.
IV. Calculus
V. Statistics
