• This course recognises the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasises the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to justify conjectures. The aims of this course are:
• To enable students to enjoy and develop an appreciation of the power of maths and to understand the principles and nature of maths.
• To employ and refine their skills to alternative situations.

• develop an understanding of the principles and nature of mathematics
• develop logical, critical and creative thinking, and patience and persistence in problem-solving
• employ and refine their powers of abstraction and generalization
• apply and transfer skills to alternative situations, to other areas of knowledge and to future developments
• appreciate how developments in technology and mathematics have influenced each other
