CALCULUS 31F - Full Year

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Dr M. McKubre-Jordens.

This course continues the development of Mathematics with particular emphasis on Calculus. Content also includes algebra, coordinate geometry and trigonometry. Mathematical thinking and concepts are developed and placed in meaningful contexts. The aim is preparation of students for University-level courses in Mathematics and Calculus. It provides a solid foundation for students wishing to pursue careers in engineering, physical or chemical sciences, mathematical modelling, meteorology, higher economics, or any career involving the analysis of changing quantities and functions.

This is a UE approved subject, in which a course endorsement is possible.

Recommended Prior Learning

A good level of performance in AS91261 (2.6 Algebra) and AS91262 (2.7 Calculus), Merit preferred. (Students who Achieve without Merit may find they need to work a bit harder to keep up.)

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

A graphing calculator (e.g. CASIO fx-9750 or fx-9860) is highly recommended.
A BYOD device is required.
