Pathway

Have you been involved in accelerated courses at school and/or passed Level 3 calculus credits in year 12? Is your ability in mathematics such that you would like an enrichment course while concurrently doing your year 13 work? If you have answered yes, then MATH199 (UMA300) is for you! This course in linear algebra and calculus gives you the opportunity to study stimulating and interesting work while still at school, and will prepare you well for second year courses in mathematics. The University of Canterbury (UC) is offering MATH199 to secondary school students outside of the Christchurch region who excel in mathematics. MATH199 is a two semester, 30-point programme, aligned with MATH102 in Semester 1 and MATH103 in Semester 2. MATH199 has a dedicated Learn website with comprehensive resources structured on a week by week basis. Although the primary source for content is online, small group tutorial sessions will be held online weekly. This will give you a chance to ask questions about the course work and sort out any problems you may be having
