"Maybe education cannot change everything, but education in general, and mathematics education in particular, might change something for somebody"

"This course recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a deep understanding of mathematics. This course includes topics that are both traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course (for example, functions, trigonometry, calculus) as well as topics that are amenable to investigation, conjecture and proof, for instance the study of sequences and series...The course allows the use of technology, as fluency in relevant mathematical software and hand-held technology is important regardless of choice of course. However, Mathematics: analysis and approaches has a strong emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments." - IB Diploma Program Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches Guide |
"Calculus describes rates of change between two variables and the accumulation of limiting areas.
Understanding these rates of change and accumulations allow us to model, interpret and analyze real-world problems and situations. Calculus helps us to understand the behavior of functions and allows us to interpret the features of their graphs." - IB Diploma Program Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches Guide (Topic 5 Calculus) |
