Course Name: Applied Mathematics 30S

(APMR3S)

Credit: 1 Credit

Recommended Prerequisite: Applied Math 20S (Minimum Final Mark of 60%)

Course Description:

Students enrolling in this course should have successfully completed the Applied Mathematics 20S course. See the course description for Applied Math 20S for a general description of the Applied Math Program. The Applied Mathematics 30S course consists of eight topics: Data Management and Analysis, Graphing Systems of Equations, Precision Measurement, Linear Programming, Non-Linear Functions, Personal Finance, Technical Communication and Geometry.

Students are strongly encouraged to visit student support services to ensure that they are registering for the correct math courses based on future post-secondary plans and options. Students considering engineering, science or technology courses at post-secondary institutions may consider taking this course together with the Pre-Calculus 30S to provide themselves with a more complete mathematics background centered around both theory and applications.

Requirements: TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator (required)

Course Name: Consumer Mathematics 30S

(COMR3S)

Credit: 1 Credit

Prerequisite: Mathematics 20S Credit

Course Description:

This course continues the emphases from the Consumer Math 20S course. Analysis of Problems, Games and Numbers continue as units that are embedded throughout the course. Additional units of investigation include: Income and Debt, Data Analysis and Interpretation, Measurement Technology, Operation of a Vehicle, Personal Income Tax, and Applications of Probability.

Requirements: Scientific Calculator

Course Name: Pre-Calculus Mathematics 30S

(PCMR3S)

Credit: 1 Credit

Recommended Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus Math 20S (Minimum Final Mark of 60%)

Course Description:
The main thrust of this course is to prepare students for a future investigation of calculus. The pre-calculus stream meets all requirements for students pursuing mathematics, engineering and/or sciences at University. The course is to prepare students for a high level of theoretical mathematics with an emphasis on problem solving, mental mathematics as well as cumulative exercises and testing. The use of technology - graphing calculators, spreadsheets and other software - is also emphasized.

The topics studied include: Quadratic functions and their applications, Trigonometric equations and their
applications, Solving equations and inequalities involving quadratic, linear, rational, radical and absolute value
functions, Consumer mathematics, Geometry of circles and polygons, Logic, and Operations with functions.

Requirements: TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator (recommended); or scientific calculator
