YEAR 12 MATHEMATICS METHODS

2024 COURSE OUTLINE

THIS OUTLINE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!

Mathematics Methods provides a foundation for further studies in disciplines in which mathematics and
statistics have important roles. It is also advantageous for further studies in the health and social sciences.
In summary, this course is designed for students whose future pathways may involve mathematics and
statistics and their applications in a range of disciplines at the tertiary level.

Unit 3: Description
The study of calculus continues by introducing the derivatives of exponential and trigonometric functions
and their applications, as well as some basic differentiation techniques and the concept of a second
derivative, its meaning and applications. The aim is to demonstrate to students the beauty and power of
calculus and the breadth of its applications. The unit includes integration, both as a process that reverses
differentiation and as a way of calculating areas. The fundamental theorem of calculus as a link between
differentiation and integration is emphasised. Discrete random variables are introduced, together with their
uses in modelling random processes involving chance and variation. The purpose here is to develop a
framework for statistical inference.

Unit 4: Description
The logarithmic function and its derivative are studied. Continuous random variables are introduced and
their applications examined. Probabilities associated with continuous distributions are calculated using
definite integrals. In this unit, students are introduced to one of the most important parts of statistics, namely,
statistical inference, where the goal is to estimate an unknown parameter associated with a population
using a sample of that population. In this unit, inference is restricted to estimating proportions in two-
outcome populations. Students will already be familiar with many examples of these types of populations.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of Units 3 and 4, students

• understand the concepts and techniques in calculus, probability and statistics

• solve problems in calculus, probability and statistics
• apply reasoning skills in calculus, probability and statistics
• interpret and evaluate mathematical and statistical information and ascertain the reasonableness of
solutions to problems.
• communicate their arguments and strategies when solving problems.
