Advanced Mathematics
Who Should Study This Course
Students who enjoy Mathematics at the highest levels, students who intend to pursue a career in science, finance, medicine, engineering or mathematics. This course provides an appropriate mathematical background for students whose future pathways may involve mathematics and its applications in a range of disciplines at the tertiary level.
Course Description
The Mathematics Advanced course is a calculus-based course focused on developing student awareness of mathematics as a unique and powerful way of viewing the world to investigate order, relation, pattern, uncertainty and generality. The course provides students with the opportunity to develop ways of thinking in which problems are explored through observation, reflection and reasoning.
What Students Learn
The study of Mathematics Advanced in Stage 6 students develop knowledge, understanding and skills in working mathematically and in communicating concisely and precisely. There are opportunities for students to consider various applications of mathematics in a broad range of contemporary contexts through the use of mathematical modelling and use these models to solve problems related to their present and future needs. Students develop ways of thinking in which problems are explored through observation, reflection and reasoning.
