infoWhy this? Further differentiation equips students to apply their basic skills to analyse composite, trigonometric and exponential functions, deepening their understanding of change. Sequences and series capture step-by-step patterns and allow totals to be expressed compactly using algebra and sigma notation.

scheduleWhy now? Applications of differentiation follows the algebra refresher and the basics of differentiation, so it can now be applied to more complex problems. Sequences need algebraic fluency to be secure, they offer a useful discrete counterpart to the continuous ideas in calculus.
