The Effectiveness of FEFA in Teaching and Learning Foundations of Applied Mathematics

Memorizing formulas is one of the essentials tasks in learning activities. There are many formulas that have been constructed by previous researchers. The formulas developed have their own purpose such as to calculate, to estimate, to analyse and so on. One of the fields that involve more than a hu...
