Using Differential Equations

So big cross over with the new

maths higher level course
Solving equations
Lot of trigonometry
Calculus
Problem solving
Not easy but should make the honours
maths course easier as you will have a lot
more practice at this techniques

Student looking for high points scores.
Anyone that defnitely want to do engineering at college.

Around 80 % of people sitting the

honours paper get an A-C grade
