IB Mathematics: Applications and Interpretations SL/HL

Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI) is designed for students who are interested in applying mathematics to real-world contexts and using technology as a key tool in problem-solving. This course emphasizes mathematical modeling, statistics, and data analysis, making it ideal for students aiming for social sciences, natural sciences, statistics, business, psychology, or design-related university courses.

Core Topics (SL & HL):

1. Number and Algebra

   Approximations, financial mathematics, indices/logarithms, sequences

2. Functions

   Modelling, graphs, types of functions (linear, exponential, etc.)

3. Geometry and Trigonometry

   Shape and space, trigonometric models, 3D geometry

4. Statistics and Probability

   Data collection, statistical analysis, distributions, hypothesis testing (more advanced in HL)

5. Calculus

   Rates of change, numerical methods, basic differentiation and integration (more extensive in HL)
