L2 Mathematics (with Calculus)

Course Overview

Mathematics can be defined as the study of patterns, order and structure. A course in Level 2 Mathematics equips students for studies in most other areas of life. Studying Mathematics at this level develops reasoning, an ability to formulate and apply strategies, and to solve problems The first semester of this course will use internal standards in Coordinate Geometry, Graphs and Using Systems of Equations to apply these methods in solving problems. A good understanding of the algebra in each of these topics will contribute to the external standard in Algebra which will be studied in Term 2 and revised in Term 4. The second semester of this course will cover the remaining two external standards. Applying Calculus Methods in solving problems gives students an introduction to the whole field of Calculus.

This course covers the following Topics:

● Algebra and Systems of Equations

● Calculus

● Coordinate Geometry

● Non-Linear Graphs* (OPTIONAL INTERNAL IN TERM 4)

● Sequences & Series

● Systems of Equations

● Trigonometry

Prior learning needed

Ideally, students should have studied Level 1 Mathematics, and gained at least an Achieved result in Maths 1.4, although this is not essential. Students need to be self-motivated and have very good time management.
