373 Applied Mathematical Modeling ACP

Gr 12 only | 6 Credits | Year-Long | 5x per Cycle

*Prerequisite: Algebra 2; Analysis also recommended  

This course is intended for students who have completed Analysis or Pre-Calculus and is designed to supplement previous learning in mathematics. Topics may include but are not limited to: operations research through graph theory (network analysis), statistics (both producing and exploring data), combinatorics, probability, social choice mathematics (voting systems and apportionment), modular arithmetic, codes and check digits and consumer finance. There is a consistent emphasis on how math informs decision-making daily for the operations of organizations, businesses, and individuals. Students often use graphing calculators to aid in solving real world problems and are frequently asked to explain their solutions and ideas within the context of these real world problems.

Essential Skills:

• Create and interpret mathematical representations using correct notation

• Draw valid conclusions and justify reasoning and solutions
