There are two mathematics courses in the Diploma Programme (DP), both taught at Higher level (HL) and Standard level (SL). The first is Mathematics: analysis and approaches<\/strong> and the second is Mathematics: applications and interpretation<\/strong>. Each course approaches topics at varying levels of teaching hours. This guide will provide some insights into which course will be the best fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The courses are separated by how they approach mathematics, described generally by the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Mathematics: applications and interpretation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  • Emphasis on modelling and statistics<\/li>
  • Develops strong skills in applying mathematics to the real-world<\/li>
  • Real mathematical problem solving using technology<\/li>
  • For students interested in social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, statistics, business, engineering, some economics, psychology and design<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Mathematics: analysis and approaches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • Emphasis on algebraic methods<\/li>
    • Develop strong skills in mathematical thinking<\/li>
    • Real and abstract mathematical problem solving<\/li>
    • For students interested in mathematics, engineering physical sciences, and some economics<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
