[2.0] Calculus and Vectors | G12 | MCV4U

The Calculus and Vectors course is designed to prepare students for university programs, such as science, engineering, and economics that include a calculus or linear algebra course in the first year. 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 modeling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics.
