MCV4U – Calculus and Vectors

Description

This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and develops their understanding of calculus and vectors. Students will solve problems involving rates of change and areas under curves; represent transformations, combinations, and compositions of functions; develop the concepts of limits and derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and represent curves using parametric equations. Students will also analyze geometric and algebraic properties of vectors, and apply these concepts to the modeling of real-world problems. Prerequisite: Advanced Functions, Grade 12, University Preparation (MHF4U)
