SACE CREDITS: 20 credits

KEY CONTACT: Sam Eager

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND:
Stage 1 General Mathematics A and B or Mathematical Methods A, B and C

COURSE CONTENT:
General Mathematics will extend your mathematical skills in ways that apply to practical problem solving. A problem-based approach will be used to develop mathematical models and the associated key concepts in the topics. The topics you study will cover a diverse range of applications of mathematics, including personal financial management, investing in the share market, the statistical investigation process, modelling using linear and non-linear functions, and discrete modelling using networks and matrices.

The topics studied in Stage 2 General Mathematics will include:
1. Open topic
2. Modelling with linear relationships
3. Financial models
4. Statistical models
5. Discrete models

ASSESSMENT:
Assessment types
1. Skills and applications tasks
2. Mathematical investigation
3. Written examination – external

SUBJECT COSTS:
It is strongly recommended that students purchase a TI-84 Plus C graphics calculator: approximate cost $200.
