Well, this is the maths I'll be doing in year 12. I dunno what this is equivalent to in NSW. Any suggestions?
Units 3 and 4: Mathematical Methods (CAS)
Mathematical Methods (CAS) Units 3 and 4 consists of the following areas of study: ‘Functions and graphs’, ‘Calculus’, ‘Algebra’ and ‘Probability’, which must be covered in progression from Unit 3 to Unit 4, with an appropriate selection of content for each of Unit 3 and Unit 4. Assumed knowledge and skills for Mathematical Methods (CAS) Units 3 and 4 are contained in Mathematical Methods Units (CAS) Units 1 and 2, and will be drawn on, as applicable in the development of related content from the areas of study, and key knowledge and skills for the outcomes of Mathematical Methods (CAS) Units 3 and 4.
In Unit 3, a study of Mathematical Methods (CAS) would typically include a selection of content from the areas of study ‘Functions and graphs’, ‘Algebra’ and applications of derivatives and differentiation, and identifying and analysing key features of the functions and their graphs from the ‘Calculus’ area of study. In Unit 4, this selection would typically consist of remaining content from the areas of study: ‘Functions and graphs’, ‘Calculus’, ‘Algebra’ and the study of random variables and discrete and continuous probability distributions and their applications. For Unit 4, the content from the ‘Calculus’ area of study would be likely to include the treatment of anti-differentiation, integration, the relation between integration and the area of regions specified by lines or curves described by the rules of functions, and simple applications of this content.
