Stage 2 Mathematical Methods
Students in Stage Two Mathematical Methods will study a combination of Calculus and Statistics with an initial focus on Differential Calculus before studying Integral Calculus. Students will continue the academic year focusing on Discrete and Continuous Random Variables before completing the subject with an external examination.
