Green Bay High School
NCEA Level 3 Calculus
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Drew McWhinnie.
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.
Recommended Prior Learning
Course endorsement at Level 2 Mathematics with Calculus, OR 14 credits or more from Level 2 Mathematics including Merit in at least two Achievement Standards from 2.6 Algebra, 2.7 Calculus or 2.2 Graphs.
Final entry is subject to the approval of the Head of Department of Mathematics.
Course Costs
Students will require 4x 1E8 books.
A Casio Graphics Calculator FX9750GII is not compulsory, but is highly recommended for this course
