Mathematics AI HL is a course that's fit for you if you prefer Maths that you can visualize. You will be faced with plenty of word problems where you will need to use your imagination, and you will also learn how to make and interpret graphs. The course notably places emphasis on ensuring that its students understand how to apply Maths into real-life contexts, rather than all theory, and thus allows students to maximize stored knowledge with formulae and calculators in order to derive precise solutions and accurate conclusions from mathematical contexts. All in all, I personally liked the course and would recommend it to future students. (Rolan Cesar Domingo, Cohort 1)

Before choosing my subjects, I was given a chance to pick between Math Applications and Interpretations (AI) and Math Analysis and Approaches (AA). However, I chose Math AI because I know that it would be of greater use in my chosen major in college. When choosing between these two types of Math, I had to fully understand the goals of each and the requirements of my dream universities. Regarding the level that I chose, I decided to take Math AI SL because my major in college would focus on the sciences, which is why Math wasn't one of my choices as an HL subject.

When I chose to study Math AI, I completely underestimated the companionship that my GDC would bring. I realized that I had to understand each calculator's function to increase my chances of passing. Another trick that I learned in Math AI was to answer the exam-style questions in the book. Answering this section was able to test my understanding of the lesson, especially since they are sample questions from both papers 1 and 2. Another advantage that the book has is that it contains the solutions and answers to any problem under the exam-style questions, which was able to help me understand my mistakes.

If I could give one piece of advice to those who would take Math AI SL, it would be to know how to use the calculator. I will admit that for a while, I was a bit unsure of what was happening. This class focuses more on using calculators to solve functions, and it is important to develop a concrete understanding of functions and the calculator to do well. For the most part, nearly all the given problems can be solved with the GDC, you just have to make sure to actually pay attention in class, and maybe even keep a compilation of all the calculator steps in solving certain problems.
