Course
Name: Applied Mathematics 40S
(APMR4S)
Credit: 1 Credit
Recommended Prerequisite: Applied Mathematics 30S
Minimum Final Mark of 60%)
Course Description:
The Applied Mathematics 40S course completes the Applied Mathematics stream
of study for those students
pursuing science, engineering and technology at post-secondary institutions.
Many (but not all) introductory
university math and science courses will accept an Applied Mathematics 40S
credit as a prerequisite. Graduating students are strongly encouraged to visit
the student support services to ensure proper course selection for postsecondary
educational goals.
Graphing calculators, computers and data-collection probes are used extensively in this course to investigate the following topics: Probability, Variability and Statistical Analysis, Matrix Modeling, Vectors, Applications of Periodic Functions, Sequences, Personal Finance and Design and Measurement.
Applied Mathematics 40S, together with Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, would provide an excellent background in theory and applications of mathematics.
Requirements: TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator (required)
Course Name: Consumer Mathematics 40S
(COMR4S)
Credit: 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Credit in Grade 11 Mathematics
Course Description:
This course completes the Consumer stream of mathematics. Topics of study
include: Problem analysis, Analysis of Games and Numbers, Personal finance,
Government finances, Design and measurement, Variation and formulas, Statistics,
Investments, Taxation and the Career Life Project.
The Consumer Mathematics 40S course culminates with a provincial assessment worth 30% of the student's final grade. The assessment includes a portfolio, project and written examination.
Requirements: Scientific Calculator
Course Name: Calculus 40S
(CALR4S)
Credit: 0.5 Credit
Prerequisite: Credit in Grade 11 Mathematics
Course Description:
An introduction to Calculus will be of interest to students who desire knowledge
of areas of mathematics that will be studied at post-secondary institutions
particularly in the areas of Engineering, Mathematics, Science, and Pre- Management.
It would also be an advantage to those entering universities, which require
knowledge of the content of calculus (Ontario universities).
Topics include: continuity, limits, differential and integral Calculus.
Requirements: TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator
Course Name: Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S
(PCMR4S)
Credit Value: 1 Credit
Recommended Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus Math 30S (Minimum Final Mark of 60%)
Course Description:
Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S meets the requirements for further studies in
mathematics, science and engineering at university and community colleges.
The course is designed to give the student the necessary background in algebra,
circular functions, and other non-algebraic functions such as exponential
and logarithmic that are required to be successful in a calculus program.
A strong background in algebra and analytic geometry is necessary for success in this course. Theory, proof and applications are stressed. Other topics investigated include sequences and series, permutations and combinations, probability and statistics.
The Pre-Calculus 40S Mathematics course culminates with a provincial assessment worth 30% of the final grade.
Requirements: TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator (recommended); or scientific calculator.
