IB DP Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation is designed for students who are interested in a higher-level mathematics course and who may be most interested in pursuing the social sciences, medicine, or business. Most colleges and universities view this course as a replacement for Algebra 2 in a student's schedule. Topics covered include: Algebraic sequences, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and calculus. The same topics are covered in both SL and ELL, and more time is spent on the geometry, functions, trigonometry , and statistics sections in the HL curriculum. Students complete a project based on personal research by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Students may choose to take the IB exam for their respective level of the course in May of the second year. A Texas instruments graphing calculator is required and may be checked out from the school.
