This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three-dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and
apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students
will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior
mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields
such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those
students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or
physics course.
