Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches(available at HL and SL)This course is appropriate for students who enjoy the more pureand abstract elements of mathematics as well as problem solvingin real world contexts. This course contains elements of puremathematics such as algebra and trigonometry and fewer appliedmaths topics in statistics and modelling than the applications andinterpretations course and is slightly more similar in content tothe mathematics A-level. A student who enjoys algebra and puremathematics would be well-suited to this course.The course is o昀昀ered at standard and higher levels. Studentswishing to progress to a university subject requiring A-level maths(e.g. physics, engineering, mathematics) will usually need to takethe HL option. Higher level maths is a challenging and excitingcourse which includes some topics usually studied in the 昀椀rst yearof an undergraduate maths course such as complex numbers,di昀昀erential equations and Maclaurin series. This course issigni昀椀cantly more advanced than its SL counterpart and studentsshould be prepared for a challenging but rewarding experience.Course EssentialsLevelsAvailableHLSLSLEntryRequirementsGrade 8 inMaths &Grade 7 inGCSE ScienceGrade 6in GCSEMathsGrade 6 inGCSE MathsIA weighting20%20%20%Yr Y2teaching split50/5050/5050/50Exam papers/calculator use3 papers1 non-calcpaper2 papers,1 non-calcpaper2 papers, bothcalculatorpapersCalculus,pure maths,algebra,Modelling,Applications,StatisticalmethodsAllcoursesexceptthoserequiringHL MathsAll coursesexcept thoserequiring HLMathsMathematics: Applications and Interpretations(available at SL only)This course is appropriate for students who are interested indeveloping their mathematics for describing our world and solvingpractical problems. They may also be interested in harnessing thepower of technology alongside exploring mathematical models.Students who take Mathematics: Applications and Interpretationwill be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practicalcontext. This subject is aimed at students who will go on to studysubjects such as social sciences, natural sciences, statistics,business, some economics courses, psychology, and design.26ApplicationsandInterpretationsAnalysis andApproachesEmphasis incontentUniversitycourses andcareersAdditionalcontent: complexnumbers, vectors,extensionsin calculus,functions andtrigonometryMaths,PhysicalSciences,Engineering(please checkwith individualuniversities)*In addition check course requirements if you are considering studying Economics, Psychology or overseas.trigonometry
