General Mathematics 2

Level: 2
Hours: 150
TCE Credit Points: 15 pts
TCE Skills: Numeracy
Recommended Prior Study: At standard rating in Mathematics
May Lead To: General Mathematics 3. Training or job where mathematical skills are required.
Campus: Hellyer

This course provides students with a range of experiences that enables them to model, problem solve and reason.

Students solve applied problems of concepts and techniques drawn from the content areas of algebra, matrices, finance, data, right-angled trigonometry, and measurement.

General Mathematics 3

Level: 3
Hours: 150
TCE Credit Points: 15 pts
TCE Skills: Numeracy
Recommended Prior Study: Abv-L to Wabv standard in Mathematics
May Lead To: University study in fields requiring mathematics.
Campus: Hellyer

General Mathematics Level 3 enables learners to extend their mathematical experience beyond Year 10 with increasing sophistication.

It provides increasingly abstract scenarios for incorporating mathematical arguments and problem solving in situations involving growth and decay, standard financial models, bivariate data analysis, time series analysis, trigonometry, geometry, networks, and decision mathematics.

Mathematics Methods Foundation 3

Level: 3
Hours: 150
TCE Credit Points: 15 pts
TCE Skills: Numeracy
Recommended Prior Study: Abv-L to Wabv standard in Mathematics
May Lead To: Mathematics Methods Foundation 4, General Mathematics 3
Campus: Hellyer, King Island

Mathematics Methods - Foundation Level 3 provides an introductory study of algebra, functions and their graphs, calculus, probability and statistics.

It is designed as a preparation course for the study of Mathematics Methods Level 4 and covers assumed knowledge and skills required for that course.

This course does not fulfil entry requirements to university courses which specify Mathematics Methods 3 as a prerequisite. Mathematics Methods 4 is the new requirement in these instances.

Mathematics Methods 4

Level: 4
Hours: 150
TCE Credit Points: 15 pts
TCE Skills: Numeracy
Recommended Prior Study: Mathematics Methods 3 or Abv-H to Wabv standard in Mathematics 10A
May Lead To: Mathematics Specialised 4 Required by the University of Tasmania and some mainland universities as prerequisite for further study in some areas.
Campus: Hellyer

Mathematics Methods Level 4 extends the study of elementary functions of a single variable to include the study of combinations of these functions, algebra, differential and integral calculus, probability and statistics and their applications in a variety of theoretical and practical contexts.

Mathematics Specialised 4

Level: 4
Hours: 150
TCE Credit Points: 15
TCE Skills: Numeracy
Recommended Prior Study: Mathematics Methods 4
May Lead To: A recommended subject for university subjects in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Please see university guides for details.
Campus: Hellyer

Mathematics Specialised is designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics, including those intending to study mathematics, statistics, all sciences and associated fields, economics or engineering at university.

This course provides opportunities to develop rigorous mathematical arguments and proofs, and to use mathematical models more extensively.

Mathematics I (UTAS High Achiever Program - JEE103)

TCE Credit Points: 8 pts
Recommended Prior Study: Mathematics Methods 4
May Lead To: University Studies
Campus: Hellyer, Parklands

This first year mathematics unit provides a broad introduction to the fundamental mathematical operations and methods (differentiation, integration and partial differentiation) and mathematical objects (vectors) needed in engineering and science.

We initiate themes of mathematical modelling which are most important in connection with practical problems. This unit lays a solid foundation for more advanced mathematics undertaken in semester two and higher years.

Mathematics II (UTAS High Achiever Program - JEE104)

TCE Credit Points: 8 pts
Recommended Prior Study: Mathematics Methods 4
May Lead To: University Studies
Campus: Hellyer, Parklands

This first year mathematics unit builds on the fundamentals learnt in Mathematics I and provides students of Science and Engineering an introduction to those areas of mathematics which are most important in connection with practical problems.

We will initiate the themes of mathematical modelling beginning with direct applications of theory and methods (complex numbers, matrices, differential equations, series and probability and statistics).

You will develop numerical techniques where appropriate and use modern mathematical software packages such as MAPLE to investigate less tractable problems in calculus, linear algebra and modelling.

This unit lays a solid foundation for more advanced mathematics undertaken in higher years.
