Level 3 Calculus

Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space and time.  Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data.  These two disciplines are related but involve different ways of thinking and solving problems.  Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting, explaining and making sense of the world in which they live.

Mathematics with Calculus introduces students to the concept of problem solving using rates of change.  Using Calculus, we can ask and answer questions including, how does an equation grow and shrink, how does it accumulate over time, when does it reach its highest and/or lowest point?

Algebra and Calculus are a problem-solving duo: Calculus finds new equations and Algebra solves them.  Like evolution, Calculus expands your understanding of how nature works.

Prerequisite: 

Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics with 15 credits or more in Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics, or at the discretion of the HOD Mathematics.  Students should have completed the Algebra and Calculus standards.
