Mathematics 3 (S1)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Damien Galvan.

This Level 3 course, when chosen with Mathematics 3(S2), will enable students to gain University Entrance. 

Semester 1 has three Internal Assessments from the Mathematics and Statistics strand.

Statistics:  

Using the Statistical Methods and the 'Statistical Enquiry Cycle', investigate real-life contextual situations involving analysis of data leading to conclusions. 

Students carry out investigations in Time Series (4 credits), Formal Inference (4 credits), and Conducting Experiments (4 credits) where they analyse data mainly using computer technology and interpret the results based on a deeper understanding of Statistical knowledge and concepts.
