This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in mathematics and working mathematically. Students have the opportunity to develop ways of thinking and use mathematics as a powerful way of viewing and modelling the world to investigate patterns, order, generality and uncertainty.
The outcomes and content in the Mathematics Advanced Stage 6 syllabus are written with the assumption that students studying this course will have engaged with all substrands of Stage 5.1 and Stage 5.2. Selected substrands of Stage 5.3 – Algebraic Techniques, Surds and Indices, Equations, Linear Relationships, Trigonometry should also have been covered. Content in the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus up to and including this level is also implicit in this syllabus. In a number of cases where content from Stage 5 is included it is in the context of review for clarity and completeness.
The topics you cover in the Mathematics Advanced course are:
YEAR 11: Working with Functions, Trigonmetric Functions, Calculus, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Statistical Analysis and Combinatorics
YEAR 12: Functions, Trigonometric Functions, Calculus, Financial Mathematics and Statistical Analysis
