MCV4U - 2016-2017 Semester 2

Page history last edited by Steve Sweeney 6 years, 10 months ago

MCV4U - Calculus & Vectors (University Preparation)

 

This course builds on students' previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.
 

Prerequisites:

  1. Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation
  2. Advanced Functions, Grade 12, University Preparation (can be taken concurrently, but generally not recommended) 

 

This page will have a daily breakdown of the course.  Most recent classes are at the top of the page, while the older classes get pushed to the bottom.

 

The beginning of each unit will be marked in blue.

Evaluations (e.g., tests, assignments, quizzes) will be marked in red.

Returned evaluations with be marked in purple.
