MATH300

Level 3 Mathematics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Knipping.


This course equips students with the essential skills and knowledge required to tackle complex mathematical concepts, enabling them to solve real-world problems and develop analytical thinking. Throughout the program, students can explore topics such as differentiation, integration, differential equations, and applications of calculus in various fields. We provide learners with a supportive learning environment, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of mathematical principles. NCEA Level 3 Mathematics not only potentially prepares students for tertiary studies in mathematics, engineering, or science but also cultivates their overall mathematical literacy.
