Mathematical Methods
Mathematical Methods develops an increasingly complex and sophisticated understanding of calculus and statistics. By using functions and their derivatives and integrals, and by mathematically modelling physical processes, students develop a deep understanding of the physical world through a sound knowledge of relationships involving rates of change.
Stage 2 Mathematical Methods consists of the following topics:
- Further differentiation and applications
- Discrete random variables
- Integral calculus
- Logarithmic functions
- Continuous random variables and the normal distribution
- Sampling and confidence intervals
