The HL and SL variants of this course cover a range of topics in the following areas: Number and algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, calculus. The SL course devotes roughly the same amount of time to each of these five areas whilst the HL course spends a greater proportion of its time on geometry and trigonometry, and calculus. Exam questions in this subject tend to have a variety of styles, some relying on the use of technology (the graphical calculator) to solve problems in a neat way, with others requiring a more traditional handwritten algebraic approach. One skill the student will learn is being able to judge which method is appropriate.
The SL variant of this course is more accessible but nevertheless students should be comfortable with the algebraic manipulations that are typically found in IGCSE Mathematics. The SL variant of this course could be taken by students who are confident of achieving the equivalent of a grade 8 or higher in IGCSE Mathematics.
