Mathematics Specialist (ATAR)
Course Outline
Mathematics Specialist is an ATAR course which provides opportunities, beyond those
presented in the Mathematics Methods ATAR course, to develop rigorous mathematical
arguments and proofs, and to use mathematical models more extensively. The
Mathematics Specialist ATAR course contains topics in functions and calculus that build
on and deepen the ideas presented in the Mathematics Methods ATAR course, as well
as demonstrate their application in many areas. This course also extends understanding
and knowledge of statistics and introduces the topics of vectors, complex numbers and
matrices. The Mathematics Specialist course is the only ATAR Mathematics course that
cannot be taken as a stand-alone course – it must be accompanied by Mathematics
Methods (ATAR).
