13CLC

Year 13 Mathematics with Calculus

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Dr L. Sheryn.

The aim of 13CLC is to introduce and develop students’ mathematical understanding to Level 8 of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum. 


The course introduces advanced mathematical skills and concepts, in the areas of applying trigonometric methods, and equations & expressions using complex numbers. It includes further exploration of differentiation and integration methods. 


This course will be assessed through one internal standard and three external standards. To support the work towards the externals there will also be appropriate topic tests throughout the course. 


Level 3 Calculus is an extremely challenging and fast paced course. A strong background in algebra is necessary for success in this course.
