IBDP : Mathematics Applications and Interpretation

In an IBDP diploma program, students are free to pick one course of mathematics from the two offered courses:

  • Mathematics: Analysis and Approach
  • Mathematics: Application and Interpretation

Students are offered these two courses at both Standard Level and High Level. Mathematics AA and Mathematics AI courses are both designed with an approach to enhance and develop students' mathematical and problem-solving skills in order to satisfy the requirements and needs of students for their career
advancement and development.

In this article, we will be giving you an overlook of the Mathematical Application and Interpretation course aims and objectives, key features of course and career benefits.
