The content and depth of treatment of this course as specified in Part A and Part B

indicate that it is intended for students who have completed the School Certificate

mathematics course and demonstrated general competence in all the skills included in

that course.

The 2 Unit course is intended to give these students an understanding of and

competence in some further aspects of mathematics which are applicable to the real

world.

The course has general educational merit and is also useful for concurrent studies in

science and commerce. It is a sufficient basis for further studies in mathematics as a

minor discipline at tertiary level in support of courses such as the life sciences or

commerce. Students who require substantial mathematics at a tertiary level supporting

the physical sciences, computer science or engineering should undertake the 3 or 4 unit

courses.
