Year 11 Mathematics & Statistics – 2020

2. Year 11 Mathematics & Statistics Courses – 2020
Mathematics is compulsory in Year 11
You must choose 2 Mathematics & Statistics courses (one per semester)
There are 7 courses to choose from in Mathematics & Statistics, although entry into 11MAN will be decided by the Year 11 Tutor and the HOLA of Mathematics & Statistics
Those wishing to do Calculus in Years 12 & 13 must do 11MAL
Those wishing to do Statistics in Years 12 & 13 must do 11MSE
You cannot do both 11MGE and 11MGS due to overlap

4. The 3 Pathways Calculus:
The Calculus pathway is for students wishing to head towards fields such as Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science and any other studies related to Pure Mathematics. It is also helpful in Health Sciences.
Calculus partners well with Physics in the Science curriculum

5. The 3 Pathways Statistics:
The Statistics pathway is for students wishing towards fields where understanding data analysis is important. This includes: Health Sciences; Vetinary Science; Phsychology; Law; Commerce; Journalism; Political Science; Computer Science/Data Science
Statistics partners well with Biology and with the Social Sciences
NB: It is becoming more common for students in Years 12 & 13 to take both Calculus and Statistics in order to get more breadth (especially those going into Health Sciences/Medicine)

6. The 3 Pathways General Mathematics:
The MAT201/MAT301 pathway is for students who are not wanting to pursue tertiary studies that require Mathematics or Statistics papers, but just want a bit of exposure to applications of Mathematics and Statistics
