Course structure
The modules for VCE Maths Link Methods are:
- manipulating algebraic functions
- lines and linear functions
- polynomial functions
- solving simple inequalities
- trigonometry and circular functions
- exponential and logarithmic functions
- sequences and series
- differentiation and integration.
It is expected that students will spend a minimum of 10-15 hours a week studying VCE Maths Link Methods in order to fully comprehend each module. Covering this content in a short teaching period is challenging, and students will need to ensure that they keep up with the workload.
