L3 Maths with Calculus
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Smith.
Level 3 Calculus represents a notable increase in difficulty compared to Level 2, requiring a substantial investment of time both in and out of the classroom due to the large volume of new material to be covered. Calculus involves more advanced mathematically-based tasks, making it a challenging subject.
The course includes the assessment of four of the Calculus/Algebra Level 3 Achievement Standards, with 19 credits earned through external exams. The course material is essential as a basis for pursuing further studies in Mathematics or pursuing a career in engineering, economics, technology, or the physical sciences.
It is mandatory for every student to have access to a graphical calculator to fully participate in this course. Students will elect to sit either AS 91577 Complex Numbers external or AS 91574 Linear Programming internal.
