Description:

This is the second part of a two-year sequence preparing the student for the IB Mathematical Studies examination. Topics in the second year include: Logic, Probability, Normal Distribution, and an Introduction to Differential calculus. Revision and extension of topics from the first year of this course are included. Please see course 3074y for list of topics. Students complete their individual project (Internal Assessment) in late fall and early spring as part of the IBO internal assessment. During the fall semester a prediction will be sent to Universities indicating the teacher’s best estimate of how a student will do in the May IB exams. The prediction will be based on (i) the final grade of the first year, (ii) the grade of the final exam in the first year and (iii) the mock exam early in the fall semester. In year 2 students in SL classes will be released from class once a week in order to attend to work in their HL courses.
