IBDP : Mathematics Analysis and Approaches

For the IB Diploma Program students are required to study one mathematics course from the two subjects offered;

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

Both of the courses are intended to meet the demands and abilities of the students that can help them in their problem-solving skills. Students can pursue these two courses at both Standard Level and High Level.

In this article, Blen is going to give you a comprehensive overview of the Mathematics Analysis and Approach.
