What will be in the course
Stage 1 Mathematical Methods provides the foundation for further study in mathematics in Stage II Mathematical Methods and Stage II Specialist Mathematics. Mathematical Methods further develops students’ mathematical knowledge and understanding through the study of functions and their applications. This course can lead to tertiary studies of, for example, economics, computer sciences, and the sciences. It prepares students for courses and careers that may involve the use of statistics, such as health or social sciences. 10A Mathematics may be beneficial in preparation for this course but is not required.
