 Here are the details about Alberta math courses, as of 2006-2007:
Math 10-C This course is for all students who passed Math 9. It covers a broad range of topics and introduces trigonometry. successful completion of this course will allow students to choose between Math 20-1 or 20-2 in grade 11. Math 20-1 and 30-1 These courses are for students who want to attend a college, university or technical institute in pursuit of a career involving mathematics, such as engineering, mathematics, sciences, and some business studies. Math 30-1 is a co-requisite for Mathematics 31 (Calculus) Math 20-2 and 30-2 These courses are for students who want to attend college, university, or technical institute, in a program that may not have a large mathematics component. Such programs might include arts, medical technologies and some apprenticeship programs. Math 10-3, 20-3 and 30-3 Students who did not pass Math 9 must enrol in Math 10-3. These three courses are for students interested in learning the mathematics needed to enter most trades or the workforce following grade 12. Completion of Math 30-3 will meet the entrance requirements for apprentices in most trades, specifically levels 1 to 3. Pure Math 30 (Offered for the last time in 2011-2012) Students must pass Pure Math 20 first. This is an intensive course, and students taking it must willing to commit to regular attendance and homework completion, if they hope to pass. Applied Math 30 (Offered for the last time in 2011-2012) Students must have passed Applied Math 20. Students who pass Applied Math 30 may not transfer to Pure Math 30. As of this writing there is only limited acceptance of this course as a pre-requisite for college or university entrance. Math 31 No changes will be made to this course in the near future. There is no Diploma Exam. This course is meant for students enrolling in a college or university program that has a large mathematics component. Students should have already been successful in Pure Math 30, or at least be taking that course in the same semester. Only students with a proven ability in mathematics should consider taking this course. Any graphing calculator will do for this course.
