What the college says

Mathematics helps students to understand the value of systematic approaches, how to analyse complex real-world contexts, how to communicate this concisely and precisely and understand the implications of conclusions. Mathematics encourages the development of strong written, verbal, and graphical communication skills; critical and complex thinking; and moral and ethical considerations influenced by mathematics that will assist students in preparing for the future global workplace. This course recognises the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasises the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to justify conjectures.
