The course offers a suitable preparation for study of mathematics at a tertiary level, as well as a deeper and more extensive treatment of certain topics than is offered in other Mathematics courses.

It represents a distinctly high level in school mathematics involving the development of considerable manipulative skill and a high degree of understanding of the fundamental ideas of algebra and calculus. These topics are treated in some depth. Thus, the course provides a sufficient basis for a wide range of useful applications of mathematics as well as an adequate foundation for the further study of the subject.
