IB Analysis and Approaches HL
Two-year rigorous integrated college-level course for prospective STEM major students, with emphasis on algebraic methods and mathematical thinking. Specifically recommended for STEM majors with a heavy focus on abstract mathematics and reasoning: theoretical physics, pure mathematics, computer science, engineering, etc.
Analysis and Approaches focuses more on analytic, abstract mathematics. In HL, students are introduced to theories, analysis, and reasoning in different areas in mathematics.
