Year 12 Mathematics (Advanced)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs V. Tupou.

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 into 6 achievement standards (3 internal and 3 external) covering aspects of mathematics such as algebra, non-linear graphs, and calculus. Candidates can gain up to 22 credits (9 internal, 11 external) from Achievement standards in this course and would be expected to achieve to the Merit/Excellence level.
