MCB4U: Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus, Grade 12, University Preparation
This course builds on students' experience with functions and introduces the basic concepts and skills of calculus. Students will investigate and apply the properties of polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions; broaden their understanding of the mathematics associated with rates of change; and develop facility with the concepts and skills of differential calculus as applied to polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Students will apply these skills to problem solving in a range of applications.
This Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus course provides students with background skills in functions as a foundation for the study of the elementary principles of differential calculus. Calculus is a powerful problem-solving tool used in disciplines ranging from physics and chemistry to economics and physiology. The intent in this introductory course is to prepare students for university calculus courses and the wide variety of programs (engineering, social sciences, economics, etc.) that uses the skills of calculus. This course prepares students for applying and using calculus in their future studies.
John von Neumann said: "The Calculus was the first achievement of modern mathematics, and it is difficult to overestimate its importance." To master calculus, students need sufficient background skills in function manipulation. In previous courses, students examined quadratic, basic polynomial, and rational functions. Algebraic manipulation and identifying connections between the algebraic and graphical representations of these functions continue to be important skills.
Completion of MCB4U prepares students to enter the diverse range of university programs that require calculus as an admission requirement; the contextual examples and activities should be drawn from a variety of areas. The diverse nature of the courses that students take in their post secondary education necessitates a balance of emphasis between building solid foundations and providing sufficient opportunities to engage in investigations and problems that involve a rigorous level of mathematics. This balance requires students to consistently demonstrate the ability to:

The diverse nature of the courses that students take in their post secondary education necessitates a balance of emphasis between building solid foundations and providing sufficient opportunities to engage in investigations and problems that involve a rigorous level of mathematics. This balance requires students to consistently demonstrate the ability to:
- practice and consolidate skills;
- deal with applications that address a broad scope of scenarios;
- reflect on and summarize new learning;
- investigate and construct mathematical concepts independently;
- conjecture and, through inquiry, test a hypothesis;
- generate multiple types of solutions to complex problems which may cross strands, require the use of appropriate technology, and require abstract thinking;
- expand the depth of their inquiry in order to solve higher-order problems.
MGA4U: Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, Grade 12, University Preparation
This course enables students to broaden mathematical knowledge and skills related to abstract mathematical topics and to the solving of complex problems. Students will solve problems involving geometric and Cartesian vectors, and intersections of lines and planes in three-space. They also develop an understanding of proof, using deductive, algebraic, vector, and indirect methods. Students will solve problems involving counting techniques and prove results using mathematical induction.
This course is designed for students planning to study university programs that are highly focused on mathematics, including engineering, pure mathematics, computer science, and the physical sciences. Contextual examples and activities should thus be drawn largely from these fields. Because of the academic demands of these programs, the expectations of this course require students to consistently demonstrate the ability to:
- research, investigate, and construct mathematical concepts independently;
- conjecture and, through inquiry, test a hypothesis in a variety of ways including using technology;
- generate multiple types to solutions to complex problems which may cross strands and require abstract thinking;
- analyze and design proofs from multiple perspectives.
MDM4U:Mathematics of Data Management, Grade 12, University Preparation
This course broadens students' understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing information and focuses on a culminating project throughout the course. Students will apply methods for organizing and analyzing large amounts of information; apply counting techniques, probability, and statistics in modelling and solving problems; and carry out a culminating project that integrates the expectations of the course and encourages perseverance and independence. Successful completion of MDM4U prepares students for any undergraduate course in probability and statistics. Such courses are typically a requirement for students in their second year of most four-year undergraduate programs in both the sciences and humanities. In particular, students planning to pursue university programs in business, social sciences, or the humanities will find this course of relevance.

MAP4C: College and Apprenticeship Mathematics, Grade 12, College Preparation
This course equips students with the mathematical knowledge and skills they will need in many college programs. Students will use statistical methods to analyse problems; solve problems involving the application of principles of geometry and measurement to the design and construction of physical models; solve problems involving trigonometry in triangles; and consolidate their skills in analysing and interpreting mathematical models.
Students use statistical methods to analyse problems and examine the various uses and misuses of statistics. Students use principles of geometry and measurement to construct physical models as well as models using technology. Students work with measurements in both the metric and imperial systems. Applications of trigonometry in triangles are examined.
In the classroom, the use of technology is recommended to allow students to efficiently and effectively understand the concepts of the course. Appropriate technology enables students to more easily visualize concepts and allows more time for consolidation and practice. Furthermore, technology helps students investigate and develop concepts to enhance understanding and make skill development more meaningful.
MCT4C: Mathematics for College Technology, Grade 12, College Preparation
This course equips students with the mathematical knowledge and skills needed for entry into college technology programs.
