Introduction
Mathematics with Calculus aims to provide students with knowledge and understanding of mathematical methods that can be applied to the sciences and commerce. Typically, students already have a good understanding of Mathematics to take this subject. Students are encouraged gain confidence in developing their language around expressing mathematical ideas in a real-world context.
