MATH 12 COURSES
Calculus 12
Course Code: MCALC12
This course is very valuable for those students who have excellent mathematical ability and intend to take Calculus in their first year of post-secondary. Programs might include Math, Science, Engineering and Commerce. The main topics covered are properties of functions and their graphs, limits, rules of derivatives, integrals and their applications.
Foundations of Math 12
Course Code: MFOM-12
This course will focus on building critical-thinking skills necessary for success in post-secondary programs that do not require the study of Calculus. Programs might include Humanities, Fine Arts, some trades and technical programs. Topics include financial mathematics, logic with numbers, set theory, probability, combinatorics, relations and functions.
Pre-Calculus 12
Course Code: MPREC12
This is a rigorous course that will help build skills necessary for success in post-secondary programs that require the study of Calculus. These might include Mathematics, Sciences, Engineering and Commerce. Content includes trigonometry, relations and functions (exponential & logarithmic, polynomial, conics, radical, rational and transformations). It is strongly recommended that students complete Pre-Calculus 11 with at least a B, and are proficient in factoring, solving equations and graphing.
Pre-Calculus 12 & AP Calculus 12
Course Code: MPREC12H & ACAL-12
Pre-Calculus 12 and AP Calculus 12 is a combined year-long course. This course is intended for students who have a strong aptitude for math and will go on to take Calculus in their first year of post-secondary. Programs might include Math, Science, Engineering and Commerce. Pre-Calculus 12 will be covered at an accelerated pace to allow more time for AP Calculus material, leading up to the AP Exam in May, where credit may be earned for an equivalent first-year university math course. The AP Calculus topics include properties of functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. It is strongly recommended that students complete Pre-Calculus 11 with an A or B.
