Course Overview
Course Overview
Mathematics Advanced is a calculus-based course that explores new concepts and gives a greater depth to concepts learnt in Stage 5.
The course requires high levels of dedication and an achievement in outcomes at Stage 5.3. Students who have excelled at Stage 5.2 may be asked to consider mathematics as an option.
The Mathematics course is intended to give highly competent students an understanding of and competence in further aspects of mathematics which are applicable to further studies at tertiary level.
The HSC Mathematics course builds on the concepts introduced in the Preliminary Course, particularly in the aspects of calculus and geometry. The Mathematics Advanced Year 12 course is focused on enabling students to appreciate that mathematics is a unique and powerful way of viewing the world to investigate order, relation, pattern, uncertainty and generality.
Students wishing to undertake the HSC Mathematics course should have successfully completed Mathematics Advanced (Preliminary) at a high level.

Coursework
Complete all class work and regularly attend to homework and revision.
Suitable Candidates
Students who have achieved high results in the 5.2/5.3 pathway in Year 10 (the A class) are generally those students who should consider the Advanced course. Those students who have also undertaken the Stage 5 elective, Mathematics Extension course, are best prepared for the demands of this course.
Career paths
Mathematics Advanced provides a basis for further studies in disciplines in which mathematics have an important role and is designed for those students who wish to study Mathematics in a range of disciplines at tertiary level.
Equipment Required
Mathematics Advanced requires a scientific calculator—preferably a Casio fx-82au plus II. Calculators may be purchased via the school front office
Mandatory Course Fees? No
Other Course Costs
Mathematics students are strongly advised to purchase an appropriate study guide at an approximate cost of $35.
