The discipline of sociology is founded on a trinity of three main pillars: social structure, social research methods and social theory. You may like to think of the discipline of sociology as a traditional African stool that stands on three legs: socialstructure, social research methods and social theory. Having been introduced to the discipline of sociology last semester, this course exposes you to the first pillar: social structure. As you go on with your courses in sociology you will encounter the other two pillars: social research methods and social theory

The word photography was coined in 1839 from the Greek terms 'phos' for light and graphs meaning to write or draw or record. photography is therefore nothing more than graphic recording of light energy of different intensities. the scope of photography is now understood to include all processes that are used to record the action of radiant energy on different forms of matter.

This is a very exciting course which many social science scholars have termed as the Queen Mother of all social sciences. Many people not schooled in sociology liken it to socialization which is incorrect. Socialization is a small part of sociology and shall be covered in due course. In this course all sociological concepts will be introduced to you. This is an interactive instructional module that uses both action and collaborative learning styles that provide you with diverse online learning experiences and effective learning processes. The key purpose of this module is to expose you basic sociological concepts and knowledge enough to illuminate your interest in social sciences and particularly sociology. The intention is to equip you with the necessary intellectual infrastructure to analyze societal structures and processes with the aim of creating and furthering positive reform

It contains all the notes related to database and database management systems.

In this lesson we will discuss mutually exclusive and exhaustive events, and also probability.

Moments are popularly used to describe the characteristics of a distribution and are measured about a point.

The measures of central tendency are not sufficient measures to reveal the shape of the distribution of data set. The measures that show the spread of a data set are called the measures of dispersion. The main measures of dispersion are range, inter quartile range, standard deviation, variance and coefficient of variation. In this lesson we will discuss these measures of dispersion.

Statistics is the science of data. This involves collecting, classifying, summarizing, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting numerical information.

One of main objectives of statistical analysis is to obtain one single value that describes the characteristic of the entire mass of unwieldy data. Such a value is called the central value or average value. In this lesson we will consider some of central values which are commonly used.

In this lesson we will discuss the other measures of location or measures of central tendency namely, geometric mean, harmonic mean, median and mode of given data.

Over the last fifty years, several theories have been put forward to explain the process by which children learn to understand and speak a language. They can be summarised as follows:

A laboratory is a closed or isolated environment where scientific experiments and procedures are carried out. Laboratory studies are applied in all areas of science namely. Physics, chemistry,biology, agriculture, health, environment, geology, mining among others.

The objective of statistics is to make an inference about a population based on information contained in a sample. Most statistical inference procedures involve either estimation or hypothesis testing. This course looks at estimation.

The subject of differential equations constitutes a very important and useful branch of modern m mathematics. In this lesson we sh all consider some definition of ordinary differential equations.

In this lesson we will discuss regression and correlation. Correlation analysis deals with the association between two or more variables; while regression analysis attempts to establish the nature of the relationship between variables.

Skewness refers to lack of symmetry. A skewed distribution is a frequency distribution that is asymmetric (not symmetric). When the longer tail of a distribution extends to the right, it is said to be skewed to the right and when the longer tail of a distribution extends to the left, it said to be skewed to the left.

Cells are the body's smallest functional units they are grouped together to form tissues, each of which has specialized functions eg blood, muscles

The order of a differential equation is that of the highest derivative occurring in it; the degree of a differential equation is that to which the derivative of the highest order is raised when the equation is expressed in a rational integral form.
