Recommended Prior LearningThe course assumes previous algebraic knowledge from the 11MAA course, so to have a good foundation, we would recommend that you have passed 10 credits in 11MAA including M1.2 Mathematical Methods and M1.4 Mathematical Reasoning.
If you are not doing 11MAA currently and want to do 12MAA or do not gain the recommended credits, please talk to Mr Holas-Clark as soon as possible so that we can see what support and options may be available.
This course is designed for students who have a strong foundation in Algebra (ideally from 11MAA) and are ready to apply it to more advanced mathematical ideas. You'll develop skills in solving equations, modelling real-world problems, and interpreting results using algebra, calculus, and probability.
