Feature Summary
A resource written specifically for the University, Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) course. This course is design to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for university programs.
Researched and developed to support the revised 2007 curriculum
Builds on the students' previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will also refine their use of mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics.
Covers solving problems involving geometric and algebraic representation of vectors, and representations of lines and planes; broadening understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, relations, exponential and sinusoidal functions
University Prep Guide
Each section begins with a page of Key Concepts that summarizes the concepts needed to complete the exercises.
Exercises are organized into sections - A: Practice, B: Connect and Apply, and C: Extend and Challenge.
Each chapter includes additional Challenge and Extend Your Thinking questions that cover the concepts of the lesson as well as combine concepts from previous sections
All answers are provided at the back of the book. Every time a new concept is introduced, the fully worked solution will also be provided.
Each chapter ends with a checklist of concepts and specifies what students should be able to do by the end of the chapter.
A practice exam at the end of the study guide gives students the opportunities to determine if they are ready for the final exam.
This study guide will help students sharpen their subject knowledge during the school year, and will serve as an excellent reference tool as they enter first year university or college
University Professor, Steven Desjardins' review of a sample chapter of the Calculus and Vectors 12 Study and University Prep Guide:
"I must say that I am very impressed with the quality of the writing and the exercises that have been chosen. I find that the material is well-explained, with good diagrams to illustrate the concepts. I think the author has been very effective. The author's vocabulary is just right - clear enough for the students, but also proper terminology is used. The number of exercises is great! Personally, I believe in "the more the better" when it comes to problems - the students need as much practice as they can get. The mix of the exercises was also good - a good number of mechanical ones, ones that check understanding and challenging ones. I think the level of the problems is appropriate - the challenge problems have been chosen very well…"
