Level 3 Mathematics with Calculus

L3MAC
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Buenaventura.

Recommended Prior Learning

 At least 12 credits at Level 2 NCEA including success in at least one

external and/or HOD approval.


This course will integrate all the topics covered in previous mathematics courses leading up to calculus, but can be differentiated from the previous courses with its more rigorous study of Calculus. This course will develop a way of thinking that can help us to play, explore and conjecture to make generalisations that can be used in the future, to open up the potential when working on other problems in different situations. The calculus course is designed primarily for those who want to go into careers in the IT industry, engineering, economics and the sciences and those that are mathematically curious. It is also a prerequisite for many university courses as well as other tertiary institutions.
