13MAT - Mathematics NCEA Level 3
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Lee.
13MAT - Mathematics NCEA Level 3
Aims of the Course:
This course is designed for students who enjoy being challenged to think logically and
systematically to solve problems. The content of this course includes the collection and analysis
of statistical data to solve real world problems. Students will also develop their algebraic
manipulation skills through solving real world problems. There is some flexibility in this course
to choose contexts for problems being investigated, so boys are encouraged to independently
research areas of interest.
Topics:
Topics are drawn for the Statistics and Mathematics programmes and cover:
From Statistics: Time series, Bivariate data and Inference.
From Mathematics: Simultaneous equations, Linear programming and Critical path analysis.
Recommended Prior Learning
Students will have gained 14 credits in either 12MAT, 12MTS or 12MTC
