Unit 3 Learning Outcomes
By the end of this unit, students will:
Understand the concepts and techniques in vectors, complex numbers, functions and graph sketching apply reasoning skills and solve problems in vectors, complex numbers, functions and graph sketching communicate their arguments and strategies when solving problems construct proofs of results interpret mathematical information and ascertain the reasonableness of their solutions to problems.
Unit 4
Unit 4 of Specialist Mathematics contains three topics:
‘Integration and applications of integration’, ‘Rates of change and differential equations’ and ‘Statistical inference’.
In Unit 4, the study of differentiation and integration of functions continues, and the calculus techniques developed in this and previous topics are applied to simple differential equations, in particular in biology and kinematics. These topics demonstrate the real-world applications of the mathematics learned throughout Specialist Mathematics.
In this unit all of the students’ previous experience working with probability and statistics is drawn together in the study of statistical inference for the distribution of sample means and confidence intervals for sample means.
Access to technology to support the computational aspects of these topics is assumed.
