Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4
Course Description
These units develop and extend the material listed for Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2, and familiarity with this material is assumed. Students study material in the area of functions and graphs, algebra, calculus and probability and statistics. They make effective and appropriate use of CAS calculators during the course to enhance the learning of mathematics.
Areas of Study
Algebra
- Review of polynomial algebra and properties such as symmetry.
- Inverse, composite and sums, differences and products of functions.
- Solution of equations including numeric, graphic and algebraic methods.
- Literal and simultaneous equations.
Calculus
- Review of the tangent and derivative function.
- Graphs of the derivative and anti-derivative function.
- Derivative and anti-derivatives of polynomial, power, circular and exponential and logarithmic functions.
- The chain, product and quotient rules for differentiation.
- informal treatment of the fundamental theorem of integral calculus.
- Application to curve sketching.
- Calculation of rates of change, equations of tangents, areas beneath and between curves, distance travelled and average function and maximum-minimum problems.
Functions and Graphs
- Graphical representation of functions including polynomial, power, circular and exponential and logarithmic functions.
- Graphs of transformations of the above functions.
Statistics and Probability
- Discrete and continuous random variables including binomial and normal distributions.
- Means, variance and standard deviation.
- Probability density functions.
- Statistical inference including population parameters and sample statistics.
- Sample proportions and sample proportions as a random variable.
- Confidence intervals.

How AJ Tutoring Specialists can help your child:
Students complete a Headstart program of study in Polynomials and Functions & Relations during the summer holidays to give them a solid foundation in these mathematical skills and a practice SAC so as to prepare them for their first assessment SAC which are in the form of topic tests.
MATHEMATICAL METHODS TEXTBOOKS
Year 12 VCE Units 3 & 4
Cambridge Senior Mathematics: Australian Curriculum/VCE builds on a proven teaching and learning formula to support the new AC/VCE Mathematics Study Designs implemented in 2016. Our authors have unrivalled expertise in writing examples and problems to prepare students for exams, as well as proven experience interpreting the Australian Curriculum and VCE Study Designs for VCE students.
This combined print and digital title has been designed to help students at the point of learning, so every student can experience success in VCE Mathematics – in the classroom, at home and thus ultimately in the exam.
