Mathematics SL
Mathematics Standard Level (SL) is designed for students who wish to pursue future studies in chemistry, economics, psychology, and business. Students entering this course are expected to have previously acquired proficiency in number theory and sets, algebra, trigonometry, circle and parallelogram geometry, quadratics, coordinate geometry, and statistics and probability. This is a rigorous two year course which culminates in an externally assessed examination (80%) and an internally assessed self directed mathematical project (20%) as a requisite component of the IBO Diploma Program.
This course covers the following topics:
- Algebra (Equations, Exponents, Logarithms, Binomial Expansion, Sequences and Series)
- Functions (Quadratic, Logarithmic, Exponential, Reciprocal, Inverse, Polynomial, Modeling, Graphing)
- Trigonometry (Right angle, Non right angle, Sine Law, Cosine Law, Basic Angle Identities, Circular Functions, Radian Measures, Arcs and Sectors)
- Vectors in 2d and 3d
- Statistics and Probability
- Calculus (Differential and Integral)
