Level 3 Mathematics with Calculus
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Dr D. Hofman.
You will learn to:
- explore the world of all things trigonometry, looking at real-life modelling applications to the challenging identity proofs
- investigate the concept of i, the square root of negative 1, and further our understanding of more complicated algebraic equations
- develop further understanding of differential models for a range of functions beyond polynomials including logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions
- optimise functions
- model real life situations that involve rates
- discover the concept of integration, and its relation to kinematics, radioactivity and hot cups of coffee
