MCV4U – Calculus and Vectors

This course builds on students’ prior knowledge of functions and deepens their understanding of rates of change. Students will tackle problems that involve both geometric and algebraic representations of vectors, as well as lines and planes in three-dimensional space. They will expand their knowledge of rates of change by exploring derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions, applying these concepts to model real-world scenarios. Additionally, students will enhance their proficiency with mathematical processes essential for success in advanced mathematics. This course is designed for students pursuing careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and certain areas of business, particularly for those preparing for university-level courses in calculus, linear algebra, or physics.
