Mathematics with Calculus Level 3

L3MAC
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Knowles, Mrs S. Shaikh.

Recommended Prior Learning

A minimum of 15 credits from L2MAC, including a Merit or Excellence grade in AS2.4, AS2.6 and AS2.7 is required.


The Level 3 Mathematics with Calculus course (L3MAC) is recommended for students with a sound ability in Algebra who are viewing tertiary study (or potentially a career) in the physical sciences, engineering, economics, or any field where Mathematics is used as a tool for analysis. 

L3MAC builds on the Algebra and Calculus concepts covered in L2MAC and focuses on the techniques and applications of both Algebra and Calculus, Mathematical modelling, and the development of Mathematical reasoning.

A combination of internal and external Achievement Standards, the topics in this course are Trigonometry, Complex Numbers, Differentiation and Integration.

Scholarship Calculus will be made available to students who performed to a high standard in Level 2 Calculus and are willing to commit to the study program.


To enter into L3MAC, students require 15 credits from L2MAC, with a minimum of Merit grades in AS91261 (Apply algebraic methods in solving problems) and AS91262 (Apply calculus methods in solving problems).
