NCEA Level 3 Calculus Extension
Course Description
In this course, we will develop Calculus skills over a wide variety of functions.
The nature of mathematical reasoning and presentation of a logical argument, together with competence in basic algebra, graphical and computational skills will be extended in this course.
We will investigate the modelling of practical situations using rates of change, apply the algebra of complex numbers in solving problems, and problem solve in practical applications.
Calculus is required for engineering and other courses at university including physics, medicine, dentistry, computer science, surveying, seismic geology, meteorology, aviation and economics.
This course will cover the content of Level 3 NCEA Mathematics and Calculus as well as preparing students for the Scholarship exam.
This is a very demanding course and requires large time commitment; it is intended for top mathematicians.
Students are expected to attend the weekly sessions every Wednesday afternoon to improve their problem-solving skills and increase their success in this course.
Recommended Prior Learning
