Math AI
Breakdown for all M21 onwards Math Courses:
Application & Interpretations SL (AI SL):
IB Course equivalent is Maths Studies
heavy in statistics as the current studies is
Useful in the same ways the current studies is useful
Applications & Interpretations HL (AI HL):
NO IB Course equivalent
Heavy AP Stats content
STRONG focus on modelling
STRONG focus on statistics
Maths Studies curriculum + Math HL curriculum basics + Further Math HL parts
From Math HL: Vectors, Integration with a focus on finding areas, Probability Density Functions.
From Further Math HL: Basic Linear Algebra, Discrete Math (simple graph theory).
Useful in applied science fields that are NOT heavy in traditional math and calculus
Analysis & Approaches SL (AA SL):
IB Course Equivalent is Math SL
Less distinct course content than Math SL
Useful in the same way the old Math SL was
Anslysis & Approaches HL (AA HL):
IB Course Equivalent is Math HL
Heavy AP Calculus AB content
Math HL + Calculus Option
Does NOT have another option to choose from
Useful in pure math and fields of science that are very heavy in math and calculus (pathway to any higher level math courses at uni).
Note: Both AI HL, and AA HL have higher level math content studied usually in university, however AA HL gears you for the "analysis" as is in the name, while AI HL seems to have been built for "application", as is very evident in the textbooks and curriculum papers I have seen.
