Course Overview
Mathematics Extension 2 is a one-unit course offered only for the HSC. There is no Preliminary Mathematics Extension 2 course.
Mathematics Extension 2 offers 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.
Mathematics Extension 2 is for students who have excelled at Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 and is generally taught concurrently to Year 12 Mathematics Extension 1.
