Summary of the Course All topics must be covered: 1. Introduction to the graphics display calculator 2. Numbers and Algebra 3. ets, logic and probability 4. Functions 5. Circular functions and trigonometry 6. Statistics 7. Introductory differential calculus 8. Financial mathematics Project The project is an individual piece of work (2000 words) involving the collection of information or the generation of measurements, and the analysis and evaluation of the information or measurements. Mathematical Studies SL is assessed by external examination which compromises 80% of the final grade. The project, which is internally assessed, contributes 20% of the final grade. Recommended Background Knowledge No particular background knowledge and no minimum grade at IGCSE is required for this course. However, a minimum grade C in the IGCSE Core examination would be recommended as a general guideline. 39
COMPUTER SCIENCE Minimum Entry Requirements Standard Level : Higher Level : C’ pass at IGCSE Information Technology or Computer Studies OR capable of IB Standard Level Mathematics ‘A’ pass at IGCSE Information Technology or Computer Studies OR capable of IB Higher Level Mathematics NB. Computer Science can be selected as a 2nd choice from Group 5, as a complement to Mathematics NOT as a replacement for Mathematics. Who is the Course For IB Computer Science is for students who want to learn how to control the computer in order to perform a specific task; ie. they want to learn how to write programmes. It includes the theory of how software can be used to control the hardware, plus a practical component, in which they will learn how to write programmes to enable the practice of the theory component, (using the Java programming language). The successful candidates will develop an understanding of the principles and nature of computer science. Candidates will develop an understanding of methods of analysing problems, the planning and implementation of solutions using computers, including practice in applying these methods and an understanding of the range and organization of computer systems (software, data and hardware). They will develop an awareness of the use of computers in a variety of disciplines, applications and contexts and learn skills that can be transferred to alternative and future developments. The candidates will develop an appreciation of the consequences arising from the rapid development of computer systems and develop an awareness of the limitations and misuse of computing technology so that appropriate decisions can be made when solving problems and assessing the impact on society. What is the Course Content Both standard level (SL) and higher level (HL) students must study a common core (CC) of material and have to demonstrate problem-solving skills and mastery of various aspects of computer science by completing a Program Dossier. In addition HL students must study additional higher level material (AHL) which fulfils two functions: it extends some topics in the CC, thereby giving greater depth, while at the same time introducing new topics to provide greater breadth. 40
