Level 3 Calculus

300MAC
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr Lakhan.

Recommended Prior Learning

Students must meet the following requirements to be able to take 300MAC course.

  • Have attained Level 2 NCEA and have Numeracy
  • Must have achieved at least 12 Maths credits at Level 2
  • Must have passed  AS91261-  2.6    Apply algebraic methods in solving  problems           4 credits           External
  • Must have passed  AS91262 - 2.7    Apply calculus methods in solving problems              5 credits           External




This course will enable study of mathematics beyond secondary level. Calculus has many applications and is a requirement for many tertiary courses such as Higher Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Engineering, Economics, and Surveying. This course comprises of both Internal and External standards that contribute to the total credits. This course is a University recognized subject, contributes to Numeracy  and is eligible for Course endorsement.  

So students should be comfortable under high stakes examination conditions.
