You may be selected for Extension Mathematics in Semester One. The decision will be based on your Mathematics diagnostic test results and a discussion at your interview. Entry in Semester Two will depend on your results from Semester One.

The course will begin with a unit on elementary skills, including an introduction to tutorials, an introduction to collaborative problem solving, and a review of calculator skills. Arithmetic skills will be revised in the context of number sets and their graphs, percentage calculations and the metric system. There will be an introduction to algebra, making use of skills in manipulation and equation-solving in the context of problem-solving.

The course includes functions, curve sketching, elementary calculus, trigonometric equations and graphs, co-ordinate geometry, and a more extensive study of algebra. This course is intended for students who have completed MATHS 93F.
