Mathematics: Calculus and Vectors – Grade 12 (MCV4U)

Grade: 12

Type: Open

Language of Study: English

This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change.

Course Overview

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 modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.

Course Syllabus

Chapter 1: Introduction to Calculus (Pages 1 to 60)

In this lesson the students will be introduced to Calculus.

Objective: By the end of the lesson the students will be able to simplify radical expressions, use limits to determine the slope and the equation of the tangent to a graph and pose problems and formulate hypotheses regarding rates of change. They will also be able to calculate and interpret average and instantaneous rates of change and relate
these values to slopes of secants and tangents, understand and evaluate limits using appropriate properties and examine continuous functions and use limits to explain why a function is discontinuous.
