Course Information

This is a fast-paced intensive Mathematics course that relies heavily on students' ability to think algebraically, both in manipulating algebraic expressions and solving complex equations.This course is a must for students intending to study Level 3 Calculus. Students will need to be solid mathematicians and be expected to display the highest degree of self-management. Students who aspire to be Engineers or Mathematicians or study courses requiring a high-degree of Mathematics should enrol in this course.

The course is divided up into five achievement standards (2 Internal and 3 External) covering aspects of Mathematics and Statistics such as algebra, non-linear graphs, calculus, statistics and probability.

Candidates can gain up to 23 credits (10 Internal, 13 External) from Achievement standards in this course and would be expected to achieve to the Merit/Excellence level. Course Cost
