Mathematics

Course summary

Year 12 Mathematics is split into three main areas; pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics. Pure mathematics – Students develop advanced algebraic skills, including manipulation, solving equations, graphs, proof and binomial expansions. They also study coordinate geometry, calculus, vectors and logarithms. Mechanics – Topics covered include mechanical modeling, Newton’s laws of motion, friction and how particles move and interact. Statistics – Students work on probability theory and are introduced to advanced statistical techniques. Year 13 Students build upon and extend their learning from Year 12 in all areas of pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics.
