This course is an alternative to the more formal and abstract 2 Unit Mathematics course. It is designed to prepare students to use a range of mathematical techniques and tools successfully and appropriately in everyday situations, and to support TAFE and other vocational courses. It provides an appropriate mathematical background for students who do not wish to pursue the formal study of mathematics at tertiary level, while giving a strong foundation for university study in the areas of business, humanities, nursing and paramedical sciences. Please note that it does NOT prepare students for further studies in mathematical courses beyond the HSC. Students intending to undertake tertiary studies should check prerequisites for specific courses.
What does this course cost?
No subject fees, but excursions where relevant.
Note: Any 2 units of Mathematics is sometimes noted as a prerequisite for university courses. In this case Standard 2 Mathematics would be sufficient. However, if Mathematics is noted as a prerequisite this refers to 2 unit Mathematics Advanced course(not Standard).
Please check the UAC Guide for confirmation of pre-requisites.
